The Society of Toxicology (SOT) Achievement Award is presented to a member of the Society who, within 15 years since obtaining the highest earned degree, has made significant contributions to toxicology. One of the longest-standing SOT Awards, the SOT Achievement Award was first awarded in 1967. This is one of the first awards envisioned by the Society, and its recipients have achieved success not only early but also throughout their careers.

Don’t wait until it’s too late! If you know a colleague who is within 15 years of receiving his or her highest degree in 2018 (i.e., MD, PhD, DVM or other highest degree received in 2003 or later), please take the time to nominate that colleague this summer.
Similar to many of the SOT Awards, nominations for the SOT Achievement 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 provide in layman’s terms an analysis of the nominee's significant contributions to toxicology and how these achievements apply to the criteria of the award.
Make this a summer to remember: nominate a deserving colleague for the 2018 SOT Achievement Award! Nominations accepted online through October 9, 2017.
