Description
The Society of Toxicology’s CTPVSS Roger O. McClellan Student Endowment Award recognizes hypothesis-driven research by individuals pursuing veterinary degrees or post-DVM training. Special consideration is given to abstracts demonstrating how comparative medicine contributes to evaluating the safety or risk of exposure to chemicals or physical agents.
The award highlights this work within the Comparative Toxicology, Pathology, and Veterinary Specialty Section (CTPVSS). It is supported by the Roger O. McClellan Student Award Fund, a Named Fund of the SOT Endowment, and complements the specialty section’s existing awards. Recipients share a brief synopsis of their research at the CTPVSS meeting or reception.
