2008 Student Paper Competition Information
The American Board of Veterinary Toxicology (ABVT) is pleased to announce the sponsorship of three monetary awards ($1,000, $500 & $300) for the best toxicology papers submitted by veterinary students to the ABVT. These awards are intended to promote student interest in the field of veterinary toxicology and are made possible by the ABVT and corporate supporters.
The ABVT Awards Committee will review applicant submissions. Selection of winning papers will be based on originality, content, format, documentation and general benefit to the field of veterinary toxicology.
Please note the following:
- Manuscripts must be reviewed and sponsored by a toxicology instructor. A letter of recommendation from the toxicology instructor must accompany the submitted manuscript.
- Only one manuscript per student may be submitted each year of competition.
- Manuscripts previously submitted to journals or other publications are not eligible.
- Format should follow the Manuscript Preparation guidelines provided in each issue of JAVMA and here.
- The manuscript should reflect the original and primary work of the student. However, students may consult their sponsor regarding suggestions for topics, content, editing, and data interpretation.
- Manuscripts may be of any category: original study, retrospective study, case report, review article, etc. However, manuscripts that describe an activity in which the student was an active participant (such as research or patient care) will be given preference.
- The manuscript should reflect work that was performed during the time frame in which the student has attended veterinary school.
The sponsoring instructor should submit the letter of recommendation and the manuscript either online (letter and manuscript should be in one document), by email, or by mailing four (4) hard copies postmarked no later than January 31, 2008 to:
