The Society of Toxicology (SOT) is committed to excellence in toxicological education and has recognized educators in toxicology for over 40 years. As a result, SOT bestows the Education Award to an individual who is distinguished in the area of teaching and training toxicologists and also has made significant contributions to toxicology.

As with most SOT Awards, nominations for the Education Award should include the nominee’s abbreviated CV and both a primary and seconding letter of nomination from Full members of the Society. These letters should include documentation and description of the significant contributions to toxicology by the nominee in layman’s terms and how these achievements apply to the criteria of the award.
If you have benefited from the instruction of a superb educator or know someone highly reputed within the realm of education in toxicology who has made meaningful contributions, please nominate them for the SOT Education Award by visiting the SOT Awards page. Nominations are accepted online through October 9, 2017.
