Description
The TAO Student Travel Awards support graduate students and postdoctoral scholars of African origin attending the Society of Toxicology (SOT) Annual Meeting. Administered by Toxicologists of African Origin (TAO), the awards are funded through the TAO Legacy Travel Award Endowment and help defray travel expenses for domestic and international participants.
The program recognizes outstanding students and postdoctoral fellows who show great scientific promise and supports their career advancement in toxicology. Its focus is meeting participation rather than direct research-project funding. Applicants must have an accepted abstract for the next SOT Annual Meeting, and recipients must present their scientific work through a poster or platform presentation.
