Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Stem Cells Specialty Section (SCSS) offers Excellence in Research Awards for Students and Postdoctoral Fellows to recognize research relevant to stem cell toxicology. The awards focus on work to be presented at the Annual Meeting, with separate recognition for a graduate student and a postdoctoral researcher. They recognize research accomplishments rather than provide support for proposed projects.
The application centers on an extended abstract of the research and an advisor’s recommendation describing the applicant’s contribution. Applicants must be first authors on their abstracts, and the advisor must confirm that the work was performed while the applicant was a student or postdoctoral fellow. One recipient in each category receives a monetary award and a certificate of recognition.
