Graduate Student Travel Support Eligibility—Apply for Membership Now

By Matthew Price posted 07-05-2012 01:26 PM

  

SOT is pleased to provide travel support for the 2013 SOT Annual Meeting to graduate students who are PhD candidates in toxicology at the time of the Annual Meeting in March 2013. Graduate students may apply by October 9, 2012, for such travel support via the SOT Awards and Fellowships section on the SOT website.

Applicants must be presenting platform talks or posters at the Annual Meeting and be Student members of SOT or have a membership application pending at the time of application for the travel support. PhD candidates presenting a platform talk or poster at the 2013 SOT Annual Meeting, who are not yet student members of the SOT, should apply for membership in the Society by September 1, 2012, so that their membership application is considered in the September application review by the SOT Membership Committee.

Those accepted for Student membership in the Society in Fall 2012 will qualify for the Early Bird Registration discount rates for the Annual Meeting as a Student member; thus, it pays to apply for membership sooner rather than later to be eligible for both the graduate student travel support and for Early Bird Registration discount rates for the Annual Meeting. Recipients are selected by a randomized process with students who have the most seniority in graduate school having the highest priority. The funding amount for this award is determined annually by the SOT Awards Committee. Applicants can only receive this funding once.
