Toxicology Trainee Research Grant

The AACT is offering a research grant program that supports clinical toxicology research and the development of toxicology trainees’ research skills. Applications for this research grant program should emphasize study objectives that focus on clinical toxicology research, sound research methods that support the study objectives, interdisciplinary collaborations, the potential for the project to be replicated, and prudent use of grant funds. The mentoring of trainees by more experienced senior investigators is a key aspect of this program.
