Diversity Initiatives Career Development Award in Toxicology

Society of Toxicology

The SOT recognizes that career development experiences facilitate successful entry of students into advanced degree programs and into a professional position in toxicology. The Diversity Initiatives Career Development award provides funding up to $1000 to those from groups underrepresented in the sciences who are undergraduate and graduate students, and persons in the first year of a formal postbaccalaureate research position, to engage in additional education and career development opportunities to enhance their professional development towards a career in toxicology or a related field. The SOT Diversity Initiative Endowment Fund provides this award, which is administered by the Education and Experiential Opportunities Committee. Created in 2009, the goal of this fund is to increase and retain individuals from groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (as defined by the NIH here, here, and here).

About four awards of up to $1,000 per recipient may be given at each deadline. Deadlines are April 15 and September 15.

Award Criteria

Awardees will be selected based upon

Alignment of the proposed activity with Diversity Initiatives Career Development Award goals.
Scope and relevance of the proposed professional activity to a career involving the science of toxicology.
Value of the proposed experience to support the student’s career goals.
Applicant academic achievement in both coursework and research pursuits.
Strength of letter of support from the academic advisor or graduate mentor.
Demonstrated financial support to complete the activity if costs exceed $1,000.

Application Requirements

Applicant will submit the online application including:
- Written statements explaining why the activity proposed meets an unmet need in training, how this would be beneficial to the attainment of your education or career goals related to toxicology, why this type of training is not available as part of your current program, and other professional development activities in which you have participated.
- Budget, budget justification, support available, and any additional funds required.
- Evidence of commitment of institutional, personal, or other funds to cover costs of attendance in excess of $1,000.
- An uploaded CV not to exceed three pages.
- An uploaded copy of transcript(s), including current enrollment (unofficial transcripts are accepted); graduate students provide graduate transcripts only.
Applicant's academic advisor will receive an email with a link to complete the mentor support form in SOT Apply indicating:
- Approval of the applicant's participation in the defined educational or career development activity.
- The relevance and value to the applicant's educational or career goals related to toxicology.
- Why the proposed activity cannot be met by the student’s program.
- The availability of funds (i.e., institutional commitment) proposed to cover costs exceeding $1,000 (if applicable).
Award recipients will complete the experience no more than one year after the deadline for which the application was submitted.
Award recipients will be reimbursed after the activity has taken place. To receive reimbursement, the recipient will send a completed reimbursement form in compliance with the SOT Reimbursement Policy and receipts confirming payment to SOT within two weeks of completion of the funded activity.
Award recipients are required to provide feedback on their use of the award and the value of the experience towards their career development to SOT in the form of a blog. They also will provide one-year follow-up feedback on the long-term impact of the activity. These reports are submitted through SOT Apply.
