Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology Specialty Section (RDTSS) presents this award to recognize outstanding scientific contributions and research accomplishments achieved since completion of graduate and/or postdoctoral training. It celebrates a scientist’s record of accomplishment and impact on reproductive and developmental toxicology rather than a proposed research project.
The award honors excellence through impactful research, teaching, mentorship, regulatory science, and other significant contributions to the field. Its selection priorities encompass originality, scientific excellence, research discovery, publications, and scholarly contributions, as well as leadership, engagement, and service. Scientists working in academia, government, and industry are equally eligible.
