Best Student/Postdoc Abstract Awards
Opens: August 15th

The Mixtures Specialty Section (MixSS), with the sponsorship of RTI International, provides awards targeted towards students and postdoctoral fellows involved in research related to the toxicology of mixtures.

Students in programs leading to master’s or doctoral degrees as well as Postdocs must be members of SOT or show evidence of their application for SOT membership. Students in master’s and doctoral programs as well as Postdocs who are not MixSS members are strongly encouraged to join the Section.
Individuals who have received the award in a prior year may submit a second abstract for the same award if the work described in the second abstract is substantially different from the work described that received the first award.
