SOT strongly supports efforts to recruit undergraduates to graduate school in toxicology and provides travel awards for undergraduates to attend the SOT Annual Meeting. Do encourage undergraduates who have been engaged in research in your lab to submit an abstract for the meeting by October 3. They then also would be eligible to apply for the Pfizer Undergraduate Travel Award. Other travel funding is available for those selected for the Undergraduate Education Program. This 2.5 day program provides an introduction to toxicology for students who may not know much about the discipline or graduate school; students with more experience also may apply. Students are eligible: (a) if they are a member of a group underrepresented in the sciences (for example, African American, Hispanic, Native American) or (b) if they attend a school that receives a low level of science, technology, engineering, and math funding. For more information about all these programs see Resources for Undergraduate Students.
Undergraduates who become SOT Undergraduate Student Affiliates will receive communications from SOT about these and other SOT programs.
