Nominations Sought for APA's 2009 Achievement Awards

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.44.5.0026

APA is seeking nominees for the 2009 Psychiatric Services Achievement Awards competition. Eligible for the awards are innovative programs that deliver services to people with mental illness or mental disabilities, that have overcome obstacles, and that can serve as models for other programs.

Two Gold Achievement Award winners will be chosen—an academically or institutionally sponsored program and a community-based program. The gold award winners will each receive $10,000. Second- and third-place winners will receive awards of $7,500 and $5,000, respectively.

Funds for the 2009 achievement awards program have been provided by Pfizer Inc. The application deadline is March 31.

More information about the awards and an application form can be accessed online at APA's Web site at<www.psych.org/achievementawards> or by phone at (703) 907-8592.
