Description: Best Presentation Competition (Competition occurring at SOT). This will be awarded based on poster and oral presentations at SOT. This will be an in-person competition
Eligibility Requirements: The scholar/associate must be a postdoctoral member of SOT and NTSS (or show evidence of application) and meet the SOT criteria for classification as a postdoctoral scholar/associate at the time of the Annual Meeting. Postdoctoral Scholars/Associates giving platform presentations at the Annual Meeting are also eligible if they prepare a poster summarizing their talk. Advisors or mentors who are not members are strongly encouraged to join NTSS.
Submission Requirements: An extended abstract and a letter of support from the postdoctoral scholar/associate's advisor outlining the postdoc’s independence and role on the research February 14, 2025. The extended abstract should consist of the abstract originally submitted to SOT, a 2-4 sentence description of the impact of the research, up to one page of key figures or data, and a 3-5 sentence conclusion (total of 3 pages). We anticipate at least 3 judges will evaluate each poster. All posters should be completed in line with SOT poster guidelines. We will reach out with more details for the Presentation Award closer to the Annual Meeting date.
Awardee Receives: In addition to recognition plaques for each winner, monetary prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place.
This award is made possible by the Toshio Narahashi Neurotoxicology Fellowship Award Fund of the SOT Endowment.
