Award Overview

Purpose

The Medical Toxicology Foundation funds projects that support the Foundation’s mission to advance research and education in the prevention and treatment of patients adversely impacted by drugs, chemicals, and natural toxins. Therefore, the MTF is offering up to $10,000 to fund research evaluating the potential economic and clinical benefits of medical toxicology services.

Scope

The practice of Medical Toxicology increasingly involves the provision of clinical care directly to patients, including bedside evaluation in the acute care setting, outpatient clinic visits, and telemedicine consultations. The MTF wishes to assist in promoting these services to leaders and stakeholders in hospitals, healthcare systems, non-profit organizations, and governments.

Eligibility

Either the principal (i.e. “lead”) or senior investigator must be an active ACMT member in good standing, but ACMT membership is not required of co-investigators.
