The Society of Toxicology (SOT) Arnold J. Lehman Award, named to honor SOT Founder Arnold J. Lehman, is presented to recognize an individual who has made a major contribution to risk assessment and/or the regulation of chemical agents, including pharmaceuticals. This contribution may have resulted from the application of sound scientific principles to regulation and/or from research activities that have significantly influenced the regulatory process. Pictured is B. Bhaskar Gollapudi (left) being presented with the 2014 Arnold J. Lehman Award by SOT Treasurer Denise Robinson Gravatt (right).
If you know a deserving scientist who has made this type of major contribution to the field of toxicology, please take the time to nominate that individual this summer. Nominees may be employed in academia, government, or industry. Don’t wait until it is too late—Nominate now!
As with the majority of SOT Awards, nominations for the Arnold J. Lehman Award should include the nominee’s curriculum vitae (CV) and both a primary and seconding letter of nomination from Full members of the Society that include documentation and description of the significant contributions to toxicology by the nominee. Please note that letters simply listing accomplishments found in the CV are not sufficient without analysis and discussion of the important contributions and how the nominee meets the award criteria. Nominations will be accepted online on the SOT Awards and Fellowships portion of the SOT website through October 9, 2014.
