"The MTF grant was my first funded grant that really allowed me to learn about the research process and gain mentorship with faculty from my fellowship program. In the vein of my current work that develops different types of technologies around substance use disorder, the MTF grant gave me experience to allow me to start to apply for NIH funding."

"What was a big takeaway for me was how diverse the professional opportunities are in toxicology...I learned that there were outpatient opportunities, addiction, industry consultation, and medicolegal consultation just to name a few."

"I strongly support the vision and commitment of ACMT and MTF to support early-stage investigators like me. The MTF award played an instrumental role in making it possible for our research to move forward, leading to additional funding to further this important work."

" I feel so fortunate to have not only received the MTF award but also the continued support and guidance from the MTF. Their dedication to advancing the careers of young physician-scientists cannot be overstated and I am forever thankful for their support."

“It is very important for medical toxicologists to understand that medical toxicology training provides access to a wealth of impactful, rewarding, and intellectually stimulating career paths.”

“The grant opportunities provided by the Medical Toxicology Foundation help enable residents participate in ways that would not be possible without the program, and I am grateful for the support I received.”

“My advice is to find a mentor. My career has been strongly influenced by my mentors and those that continue to guide me directly and indirectly. No one completes this on their own, and as a group I think toxicologists are among the most willing to mentor.”
