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.
4. An extended abstract describing the role of the applicant in the project to be presented as well as the project's significance to the field of immunotoxicology. The extended abstract should not exceed 2 pages. The reviewers will score quality of the content of the extended abstract, project rationale and significance of the results presented. Please note that submissions of full-size manuscripts (in preparation, submitted, under review, or recently published) will not be accepted.

Final decisions will be made by the ITSS Awards Committee (Chaired by the Senior Councilor). An engraved plaque and cash award ($500) will be presented to the recipient of this award.
