The Society of Toxicology 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 an individual who is distinguished in the arena of teaching and training toxicologists, and who has made significant contributions to toxicology.
As with most SOT Awards, nominations for the Education Award should include the nominee’s 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 importance of the contributions and how the nominee meets the award criteria.

Nominations are accepted online through October 9, 2015.
