Applications Due for the ANTIDOTE Institute Full and FIT Programs

Monday, November 3

More Information & Apply

The ANTIDOTE Institute is an early research training institute which aims to help program participants start a successful and fulfilling career in medical toxicology research. The program is generously sponsored by ACMT and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

The original ANTIDOTE Institute program was initiated in 2021 and requires a comittment over two years. For the 2026 cycle we are adding a new, one-year opportunity for Fellows in Training. See information for both opportunities below.

ANTIDOTE Institute Full Program

Eligibility: Applicants must be ACMT members in good standing and junior faculty (within 5 years of fellowship graduation) at a US-based institution for the 2026-2028 academic year. 

The program is intended to help participants develop and implement a feasible research project that will serve as a foundation for a career as an investigator. Of note, this is NOT a formal didactic course on research methodology. We have designed the curriculum to give you basic skills around thinking about research, developing a grant, setting up a budget, writing manuscripts, and setting up infrastructure for success. As part of the course, we also pair participants with an ACMT researcher outside of their institution. We hope this relationship will be valuable to participants to learn from their experiences, and can receive feedback on the participant’s research and goals. Learn more.

ANTIDOTE Institute FIT Program

Eligibility: Applicants must be ACMT members in good standing, first or second-year medical toxicology fellows at a US-based institution for the 2026-2027 academic year. 

ANTIDOTE-FIT is a “micro-dose” ANTIDOTE experience for fellows-in-training with an interest in medical toxicology, substance use, and translational research. Modeled after the full ANTIDOTE Institute, this one-year program is designed to provide early exposure to core concepts in toxicology research, professional development, and academic career pathways—without the requirement of an independent research project.
