The goal of this grant program is to provide competitive funding for clinical research that encourages the development of new therapies and treatment and adds to the understanding of the principles and practice of clinical toxicology. The intended research should advance the mission of the AACT to unite "scientists and clinicians in the advancement of research, education, prevention and treatment of diseases caused by chemicals, drugs and toxins." The project may be part of a larger project but must have a specific hypothesis and aims that are separate and distinct.
- The research must focus on clinical toxicology research.
- The principal investigator must be a member of the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology in good standing.
- Multidisciplinary research teams are encouraged.
- The study timeline should not exceed 24 months from project initiation.
One grant, offered every year, of up to $5,000 is available to fund one study. An additional award of a maximum of $1000 will be provided for travel to the NACCT to present the results of the project. Grants are awarded to provide funding for specific projects that address clinical toxicology research and are not intended for long-term support of research programs.
