Description
The American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annually selects distinguished early-career scientists worldwide for its Travel Award Program. The awards support participation in the Annual Meeting rather than a standalone research project. The scientific program covers clinical and basic research on brain-behavior-drug interactions, offering access to recent, often unpublished advances in psychopharmacology and opportunities to interact with internationally distinguished researchers.
Recipients can present a poster abstract and receive an ACNP member mentor for the meeting. The program also encourages continued engagement through automatic invitations to two additional annual meetings, with reduced registration fees and poster presentation opportunities. ACNP’s Young Investigator Memorial Travel Awards, established in 1997, honor deceased College members through support for young investigators.
