The Society of Toxicology (SOT) is committed to excellence in toxicological education and has recognized educators in toxicology for almost 40 years. As a result, SOT bestows the Education Award to individuals who not only have made significant contributions to toxicology but also are distinguished in the teaching and training of toxicologists.
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 describing in layman’s terms how the significant contributions of the nominee apply to the award criteria.
If you have benefited from the instruction of a superb educator or wish to nominate a distinguished individual in the realm of education in toxicology who has made meaningful contributions to the field, please nominate him or her for the SOT Education Award by visiting the SOT Awards page. Nominations are accepted online through October 9, 2016.
