Description
The Pfizer Graduate Fellowship Award, offered by the Society of Toxicology (SOT), supports outstanding research by students toward the end of their graduate training. Its focus is science and innovation in translational toxicology: bridging basic toxicological research with applications in drug development and human health.
The program emphasizes research that integrates cutting-edge methodologies across scientific disciplines to predict and mitigate the toxic effects of drugs in humans. Applicants are strongly encouraged to explain how their dissertation research could lead to translational innovations informing drug discovery or drug development. The fellowship supports the recipient through a stipend, research supplies and other justifiable research costs, and research-related travel.
