Description
The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Research Institute (CAPRI) is a two-year, intensive mentorship and career development program for early-stage researchers in child and adolescent psychiatry. Hosted by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, CAPRI begins with a two-day in-person event at the AACAP Annual Meeting, followed by monthly webinars and ongoing mentorship. The program is designed to help participants develop competitive research proposals, network with NIH officers and senior faculty, and advance toward independent research funding (e.g., NIH K awards). Up to 12 participants are selected annually for this immersive experience.
