SOT is delighted to announce the opening of Award Season for 2025! This is the time of year when we come together to recognize and celebrate the remarkable achievements of our members who are making a positive impact on the field of toxicology.
Celebrating Excellence in Toxicology
Each year, the Society honors outstanding scientists through the SOT Awards program. These awards are distributed by various groups within and connected to SOT and often include a stipend or financial support for research. For nomination and application instructions, visit the individual award pages using the search or filter options on the “Search for SOT Awards” web page.
Award Distribution and Deadlines
SOT distributes hundreds of awards before and during the SOT Annual Meeting and ToxExpo. Some awards require a nomination, while others involve an application. Annual Meeting–associated awards have deadlines as early as September and as late as February.
Types of Awards
- SOT Awards: Conferred by the SOT Awards Committee or other Committees, these awards recognize achievements in various categories that honor those who have made advancements in toxicology or in providing for the future of the discipline through mentorship and teaching. Nominations and applications for these awards are due October 9.
- Undergraduate Student Awards: These awards recognize research, provide travel support, and offer opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to explore toxicology and related sciences. Applications are due October 15.
- Abstract and Travel Awards: Search “travel” on the SOT award page to find awards that offset expenses to attend the Annual Meeting. These awards often require an accepted abstract for the meeting. Deadlines vary by award, so review the award materials carefully.
- SOT Component Group Awards: SOT Regional Chapters, Special Interest Groups, and Specialty Sections bestow many awards to recognize the achievements of toxicologists, particularly graduate students and postdocs. Deadlines vary.
Support through the SOT Endowment Fund
Many SOT Awards are made possible thanks to the SOT Endowment Fund. To help support these awards and other Society activities focused on advancing science and increasing the impact of toxicology, consider donating to the SOT Endowment Fund.
We encourage all eligible members to apply or nominate deserving colleagues for these prestigious awards. Join us in celebrating the remarkable contributions to toxicology and support the future of our field!
