Description
The Society of Toxicology (SOT) Undergraduate Development Program Student Travel Award supports promising undergraduate science majors interested in research careers. The program introduces students to toxicology and encourages graduate study in the biomedical sciences, especially toxicology. Participants attend SOT Annual Meeting sessions, presentations, and case studies spanning the field while learning about education opportunities and the requirements for graduate school and a research career.
Students build mentoring relationships with senior toxicologists, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars, and meet academic program and internship directors. They also explore careers with toxicologists from universities, government, industry, and other scientific organizations. The program reflects SOT’s commitment to inclusiveness and to bringing a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds into toxicology.
