RM SETAC encourages student participation in regional and national SETAC meetings, research projects, and in personal development opportunities. Monetary amounts support students and specific amounts are set each year.

  • Student Travel Awards: Students with accepted abstracts (poster or platform) for the annual RM SETAC meeting who present in person are automatically qualified for a student travel award. This monetary support aids in covering travel costs to the annual RM SETAC meeting and does not preclude consideration for the best student presentation award.
  • Student Presentation Awards: At the annual RM SETAC meeting, the best student platform and poster winners receive a monetary award in addition to free registration to the national SETAC meeting (valued at over $200). National SETAC meetings are typically held ~November each year.
