Description
The Society of Toxicology’s OPHSS Best Manuscript Award recognizes published research materially related to occupational health, environmental public health, or an associated discipline. It honors the first author of a paper published in a peer-reviewed journal during the preceding calendar year, with eligibility focused on student and postdoctoral SOT members.
This is a manuscript award rather than funding for a proposed research project: the published paper is the basis for recognition. The author must have been affiliated with a recognized university, research-based institute, or company while conducting the work. The recipient receives a plaque and a cash award.
