This fellowship serves institutions and scientists from underrepresented minority groups and is open to two distinct pools of applicants:
Any minority or non-minority junior faculty member from an accredited medical school or university that offers a degree in a field related to neuropsychopharmacology and with a significant enrollment of underrepresented minority students. Junior faculty members from underrepresented minority groups who work in an accredited medical school or university in the U.S. Preference will be given to those minority faculty members at institutions that do not already have established successful research programs in neuropsychopharmacology and related fields.
Supported by a grant from Eli Lilly and Company, this three-year fellowship is designed to enhance the quality of teaching and research at accredited medical schools and/or universities with a significant enrollment of underrepresented minority students in fields related to neuropsychopharmacology; and/or to assist minority faculty members in fields related to neuropsychopharmacology to increase their research skills, develop active and successful research programs in their home institutions, and to provide increased opportunities for minority scientists to enter research careers in Neuropsychopharmacology. The fellow will be expected to attend the ACNP Annual Meeting and present a poster on the research project.
