Description
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) offers this industry-supported pilot research award to general psychiatry residents interested in beginning research careers in child and adolescent psychiatry. The program supports investigators at an early stage of development through pre-clinical, epidemiological, or clinical research addressing child and adolescent mental health.
The award emphasizes important research problems, original ideas, well-reasoned approaches, and projects feasible within the allotted time. Mentorship, the research environment, and the award’s potential to advance the applicant’s career are central to review. Recipients are encouraged to work with an experienced child and adolescent psychiatric investigator in their area of interest. AACAP’s Research Committee selects recipients and monitors their progress; industry supporters do not participate in selection or interact with awardees.
