Description

The Society of Toxicology’s Mechanisms Specialty Section Renal Toxicology Award recognizes scientific contributions in mechanistic or molecular renal toxicology by predoctoral graduate students and postdoctoral scientists. The award focuses specifically on the kidney and recognizes the impact and relevance of the applicant’s scientific work to renal toxicology.

Relevant research includes renal disease drug discovery, urinary biomarkers, and the renal elimination of toxicants, as well as other kidney-focused mechanistic or molecular studies. These examples are not an exhaustive list of eligible topics. The application emphasizes the study’s purpose or hypothesis, scientific approach, results, and significance, together with an explanation of how the work fits the award’s kidney focus.
