SOT Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program

Scholar Application Deadline: June 15, 2014

The 2015 Society of Toxicology Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program  https://www.toxicology.org/ms/gssep.asp will fund two Scholar toxicologists to attend the SOT Annual Meeting and about four weeks with one or more Hosts from established toxicology programs in academic, government, or industry organization(s) worldwide. After selection of the Scholar, applications from Hosts with similar interests will be solicited.  The Host will in turn visit the Senior Scholar’s institution. The primary goal is to increase toxicology capacity in developing countries by providing professional opportunities for mid-career to senior scientists through relationships supported by SOT. The Scholars are expected to build on this opportunity by strengthening toxicology within their universities and countries. The program provides up to $15,000 for each pair, with up to $10,000 travel support for the Senior Scholar and $5,000 for the Host. Support is not provided for equipment, laboratory supplies, or renovations.  For more information review the website  https://www.toxicology.org/ms/gssep.asp or contact bettye@toxicology.org.
