APA members are asked to submit nominations for APA's 2005 Human Rights Award. The award, conferred yearly on an individual and/or an organization, recognizes efforts that exemplify the capacity of human beings to act courageously and effectively to prevent human rights violations, to protect others from human rights violations and their psychiatric consequences, and to help victims recover from human rights abuses.

Nomination letters should succinctly describe the contributions that are the basis for the nomination and be accompanied by the individual's curriculum vitae or the organization's mission statement.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is August 28. Materials should be mailed to Council on Global Psychiatry, APA, Division of Research, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1825, Arlington, Va. 22209, or faxed to (703) 907-1087. ▪
