ACVP/STP Coalition for Veterinary Pathology Fellows

To address the growing deficit of veterinary pathologists in industry, academia and government, the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) and the Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) formed a coalition tasked with increasing the training opportunities in veterinary pathology.

The Charles Capen Student Travel Award (IATP)

The Charles Capen Student Travel Award recognizes Dr. Charles Capen and his legacy as a researcher, teacher, and mentor to the veterinary and toxicology pathology communities spanning more then four decades. Dr. Capen was recognized worldwide as an exceptional leader in veterinary and biomedical research. He was a highly regarded mentor to graduate students and postdoctoral scientists. His students are now leaders throughout academia, government, and industry and have contributed significantly to his reputation as an outstanding teacher and research mentor.

The International Academy of Toxicologic Pathology (IATP) funds an award in the amount of $750 USD which can be used by the successful student for travel or registration costs to attend a conference of a regional Society of Toxicologic Pathology.

The successful applicant will have demonstrated achievements in the field of toxicologic pathology including 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 pathology in safety research.

Nominations for this award shall be submitted to the IATP Executive Office. A committee appointed by The Board of Directors of the IATP will determine the recipient by a majority vote. This will occur prior to the meeting.

The application materials should include a resume (CV), a letter (no more than 2 pages) from the applicant which describes how their work addresses any or all of the areas described above in 1–3, and a letter (no more than 2 pages) from their advisor or mentor which explains the attributes of the student and how they will contribute to the field of toxicologic pathology as a career path.

A certificate and check will be presented at the meeting when the meeting organizers determine it is appropriate.
