Description

Up to two (2) international awards are made possible each year by the Toxikon, A Preclinical Toxicology Organization; and Dr. Dharm Singh ASIO Award Fund established with SOT in 2014. These awards will be given each year to undergraduates, graduate students, and/or postdoctoral fellows of Indian origin from outside USA for their presentations made at the SOT Annual Meeting. Each award includes monetary award and a certificate. The number of awards for 2024 will be decided by the ASIO Award committee.

Award Eligibility Criteria:

• Must be an undergraduate, graduate student, or postdoctoral fellow of Indian origin.
• The applicant must be enrolled as a full-time student or postdoctoral fellow in a university/organization outside USA at the time of applying for this award.
• The applicant must be the first author (equal contribution first co-author is acceptable) in the submitted abstract. This is indicative of lead role and significant contribution of the applicant in the research work.
• Must be an ASIO member (or have pending application for membership*). If not a member yet, you can apply for ASIO membership throughout the year. There is no SOT membership requirement. However, we strongly encourage applicants to apply for SOT membership, if they are not members currently.
