HOT Travel Award

The Hispanic Organization of Toxicologists (HOT) has provided Travel Awards since 2005 to outstanding students and postdoctoral trainees of Hispanic/Latino origin working in the area of toxicology research. The HOT Travel Award consists of monetary funds to help with the associated costs of presenting their research and attending the SOT Annual Meeting and a recognition plaque for your laboratory or office space. The HOT will give preference to first-time applicants with a high-quality research background. Previous winners may apply with the understanding that the likelihood of winning a second award may be linked to funding availability after all first-time applicant winners have been selected. Applicants must be the first author of an abstract submitted and accepted for the upcoming SOT Annual Meeting. A letter of recommendation from a mentor is required; the letter must be written in English. If the applicant is awarded, a copy of the registration to the SOT Annual Meeting and a copy of the flight ticket receipt must also be submitted. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
