The Hudson/Delaware Chapter (HDC) of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) is pleased to once again sponsor the student research awards.

The purpose of these awards is to recognize outstanding young scholars and to encourage active participation in SETAC and the HDC. Up to nine cash prizes are offered:

Prizes will be awarded at the close of the meeting on Thursday and will be based on reviews performed by unbiased HDC-SETAC members during the meeting. The HDC Board of Directors will also review platforms and poster presentations reserving the right, based on scientific merit, to reject any and all materials submitted.
