Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Risk Assessment Specialty Section (RASS) recognizes the authors of a published paper demonstrating an outstanding application of advanced approaches to risk assessment. This is an award for completed, published work rather than funding for a proposed research project. Its focus is on demonstrating advanced risk assessment approaches in use.
Candidate papers enter consideration through nominations by RASS members and screening of papers published in Toxicological Sciences, SOT’s official journal. Nominations may include papers published in other peer-reviewed journals. The RASS Best Paper Award Committee, composed of section executive committee members and volunteers, screens, reviews, and scores candidate papers. The award recognizes the selected paper’s authors, with the plaque and monetary award given to the first author.
