Nominations Invited For Awards Program
APA and AstraZeneca are seeking applicants for their 2003 Young Minds in Psychiatry International Awards Programme, an annual commitment by the two organizations to recognize and support promising young psychiatrists from across the globe.
Four unrestricted career development awards of $45,000 will be available to psychiatry researchers working in the fields of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The winners will also be invited to attend an award ceremony at APA's 2004 annual meeting next May in New York City.
Building on the success of the first Young Minds in Psychiatry Awards Programme, which was held in 2002, Darrel Regier, M.D., executive director of APA's American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education, commented, "The quality of the applications received in 2002 was outstanding, and we are pleased to be collaborating with AstraZeneca again this year to provide this vital career development support to young psychiatry researchers."
To apply for a Young Minds in Psychiatry Award, candidates must submit a proposal of scientific merit demonstrating academic promise and how winning an award will assist in the advancement of their career. Proposals can cover a range of activities including research, educational efforts, travel, salary support, and materials. Applicants must have completed their psychiatry residency within the last five years.
The deadline for applications is October 14.
