Description

This award will be presented to the graduate student trainees whose work in the field of Immunotoxicology is deserving of recognition. For full consideration:

1. Applicants need to be ITSS members (pending applications are also accepted).
2. The original abstract submitted to the SOT Annual Meeting, and the nominee plans to attend the meeting.
3. A letter of support from the mentor describing the impact of the work and the role of the graduate student in the project. We encourage all mentors to take a minute to nominate their postdoctoral trainees so they can be recognized for their work.

Submission should be provided as a single file. The text should not exceed 2 pages (font size >10pt, >0.5in margins). Up to 2 relevant figures may be included below the text. The reviewers will score quality of the content of the extended abstract, project rationale and significance of the results presented.
