Community Education Programs

Educational Outreach Award

The ACNP Education and Training Committee is accepting proposals for public outreach and education programs and activities designed to promote a greater community awareness on the advances in brain research and how those findings impact people's lives.

Funds of up to $5000.00 will be awarded to those proposals that support the goal of increasing the education and understanding of brain-related science among the general public. The College will fund up to five awards in 2009.
