Toxicologic and Exploratory Pathology Specialty Section (TEPSS)Our Goal: TEPSS aims to establish scientific and educational programs on current advances and policies regarding experimental pathology and to guide discussions of the application of pathology to regulatory policy and risk assessment. TEPSS also offers awards to deserving trainees and networking opportunities to the pathology community.
Members include pathologists with a variety of backgrounds (DVM, MD, and/or PhD), biol-ogists and toxicologists who use pathology techniques, histologists, students and postdoc-toral trainees.

TEPSS Awards
Roger O. McClellan Student AwardThis award is made possible by the Roger O. McClellan Student Award Fund of the SOT Endowment. Special consideration will be given to abstracts that exemplify the role of comparative medicine in evaluating the safety/risk of exposure to chemicals or physical agents. Nominees for the Award must be individuals who are enrolled in a program lead-ing to a DVM degree or in post-DVM residency or graduate program. The awardee must be a member of the Society of Toxicology (any level) or have an application pending. The ab-stract must be submitted and accepted through the regular SOT submission process. This research must be hypothesis driven.
Travel AwardsNominees must be the first author of an SOT-accepted abstract concerning research in toxicology that presents work illustrating the integrated application of pathology (morpho-logic or clinical pathology) endpoints with other scientific approaches, e.g. molecular or systems biology, imaging, or in vitro-in vivo correlations, to enhance the understanding of whole animal or tissue toxicologic responses.
Charles Capen Student Travel Award This award is funded by the International Academy of Toxicologic Pathology recognizing Dr. Charles Capen and his legacy as a researcher, teacher, and mentor to the veterinary and toxicologic pathology communities spanning more than four decades. The successful applicant will have demonstrated achievements in the field of toxicologic pathology in-cluding but not limited to research contributing to public safety as it relates to the adverse health effects of xenobiotics, establishing test methods and standards that enhance the field of toxicologic pathology; and/or developing new or novel uses of toxicologic pathol-ogy in safety research.
TEPSS Travel Award This award is sponsored by the Toxicologic and Exploratory Pathology Specialty Section membership. Abstracts will be judged based on scientific merit and clarity of presentation. Consideration will also be given to candidates whose professional goals include the incor-poration of the science of pathology in their research work
