The Society of Toxicology’s Medical Device and Combination Products Specialty Section (MDCPSS) presents this award to recognize outstanding contributions to toxicology through published research on medical devices and combination products. It honors the significance of a paper in the peer-reviewed literature rather than supporting a proposed research project.
The award recognizes both the first author and the paper’s co-authors. Recognition takes place at the MDCPSS reception during the SOT Annual Meeting, where the first author receives a plaque and co-authors receive certificates. Nominations include a brief justification highlighting the paper’s significance to the field.
