The Society of Toxicology 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 arena of teaching and training toxicologists and who has made significant contributions to toxicology.
Like 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 that include documentation and description of the significant contributions to toxicology by the nominee. These letters should describe in layman’s terms an analysis of the nominee's significant contributions to toxicology and how they apply to the criteria of the award. Please note: The Awards Committee will only review the two letters required to complete the nomination; no additional letters will be taken into consideration.
If you have benefited from the instruction of a superb educator or know someone highly reputable 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, 2018.
