Submissions Invited

APA invites submissions for the 2003 American Psychiatric Association Award for Research in Psychiatry. This is the most significant award that APA gives for research. It is given in recognition of a single significant contribution, a body of work, or a lifetime contribution that has had a major impact on the field and/or altered the practice of psychiatry. The award is intended to cover the full spectrum of psychiatric research.

Candidates must be citizens of the United States or Canada and be nominated by a sponsor. Sponsors, who must be APA members, must submit a letter justifying the nomination and summarizing the research accomplishments of nominees in a specific area or with a coherent theme.

Nominees should submit a book, paper, or group of representative and thematically linked books and papers published in English (or accepted for publication); a summary statement emphasizing the principal theme running through the work, its internal cohesiveness and consistency, and scientific implications; an up-to-date curriculum vitae; and an up-to-date bibliography.

All entries must be submitted in seven complete collated sets by November 19 to Alan F. Schatzberg, M.D., Chair, APA Award for Research Board, c/o APA Office of Research, 1400 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005. Entries will be acknowledged but cannot be returned. The award is based on an annual competition, and resubmission is permitted. The award, which carries a $5,000 prize, will be presented at APA’s 2003 annual meeting.
