The Regional Chapter Communication and Collaboration Committee (RC4) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2022 RC4 Undergraduate Travel Award.
The RC4 Undergraduate Travel Award recognizes outstanding undergraduate members of SOT Regional Chapters who have not yet received their bachelor’s degrees and are presenting research during the SOT Annual Meeting and ToxExpo. The goal of this award is to provide these students a travel grant that enables them to attend the SOT Annual Meeting and present posters of their toxicology-related projects.
The recipients of this award have conducted impressive independent research projects in the field of toxicology and have received outstanding recommendations from their mentors and Regional Chapter Executive Committees. The RC4 Award recipients also plan to pursue graduate-level degrees and continue research after completing their undergraduate degrees.
We look forward to seeing these presentations in San Diego!
