Research Proposals Invited

The World Psychiatric Association (WPA) is seeking proposals for a research project it will fund that addresses the stigma attached to psychiatric treatment and to the physicians who provide it.

Research project submissions for the WPA's “Action Plan 2008-2011” from individuals, psychiatry departments, medical societies, and other institutions are welcome. Proposals must contain a written description of the project (1,200 words maximum) that includes an introduction, the project's objectives and methodology, a selection of references, a list of participating institutions, a timetable, and a detailed budget. A short, one-page-only curriculum vitae of the proposed principal investigator(s) is also requested. Proposals must be sent by e-mail to the WPA Secretariat at [email protected] by June 30.

The WPA's “Action Plan 2008-2011” is posted at<www.wpanet.org/content/129-130_Editorial-maj.pdf>.▪
