Description
The Society of Toxicology (SOT) Merit Award recognizes distinguished contributions to toxicology throughout an entire career. It honors accomplishments in research, teaching, regulatory activities, consulting, and service to the Society. Rather than supporting a particular research project, the award acknowledges the significance of a member’s career and contributions to the field, including work that has improved toxicological understanding through science, education, and professional service.
The recipient receives a plaque at the SOT Annual Meeting Awards Ceremony and a cash stipend. The award also includes invitations to deliver the Merit Award Lecture at the Annual Meeting at which the award is given and a lecture during a EUROTOX meeting.
