Traditionally, individuals from more than 40 countries have attended the SOT Annual Meeting and ToxExpo each year. Among these individuals are scientists and scholars participating in special award programs.

SOT Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program

The Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program (GSSEP) aims to increase the global impact of toxicology on human health and safety by working to strengthen toxicology programs and capacity at universities throughout the world. The SOT Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program provides funding support for senior-level scientists from countries recognized as part of the SOT Global Economy Support Programs to visit senior-level scientists with an established toxicology program to gain insight into toxicology research programs. The host senior scientist returns the visit to offer further advice and guidance to the supported toxicology program.

In 2023, the Scholar-Host pairs are:

SCHOLAR Motunrayo G. Akande, DVM, PhD, FCVSN University of Abuja, Abuja, Nigeria	HOST Aaron Barchowsky, PhD University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
SCHOLAR Carolina I. Ghanem, PhD Universidad de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina	HOST José E. Manautou, PhD, ATS University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut
