Description
The Society of Toxicology (SOT), through its Neurotoxicology Specialty Section (NTSS), honors outstanding mid-career neurotoxicologists for exceptional research, scientific contributions, and leadership. This is recognition of achievement rather than support for a proposed research project. Selection emphasizes originality, innovation, and excellence demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications, impactful research, and contributions to mentorship, education, and neurotoxicology practice.
The award recognizes significant scientific, regulatory, service, or mentoring contributions to the field. An NTSS Outstanding Award Committee is appointed each year to review nominations and determine whether an award will be made. Recognition is given when a deserving individual is identified, rather than at fixed intervals.
