The Society of Toxicology (SOT) is accepting applications through Monday, October 9, for the following grant opportunities.

• The Colgate-Palmolive Award for Student Research Training in Alternative Methods will provide up to $3,750 to support graduate student training in the use of in vitro methods or alternative techniques to replace the use of animals in toxicological research. Candidates should be pursuing a M.S. or Ph.D. in toxicology, conducting a project focused on in vitro alternative approaches to replace the use of animals in toxicological research, and be members of SOT.

• The Colgate-Palmolive Postdoctoral Fellowship Award in In Vitro Toxicology will provide up to $44,000 for a stipend and research-related costs to support a postdoctoral trainee in their first year of study after earning their Ph.D., M.D., or D.V.M. degree. Candidates must be conducting research involving in vitro or animal alternative methods at an academic institution, federal or national laboratory, or research institute, and be members of SOT.

• The Colgate-Palmolive Grant for Alternative Research will provide up to $40,000 to support research that promotes, develops, refines, or validates scientifically acceptable animal alternative methods to facilitate the safety assessment of new chemicals and formulations. Scientists at any stage of career progression may submit a proposal. Priority will be given to proposals for projects that use in vitro or non-animal models and that focus on the areas of reproductive and developmental toxicology, neurotoxicology, systemic toxicity, sensitization, or acute toxicity.
