ANPA Young Investigator & Clinical Neuroscience Trainee Awards Fund

Established to support the ANPA trainee awards, this fund supports the Young Investigator Award which recognizes trainees who have submitted outstanding abstracts for presentation at the Annual Meeting and who are perceived to have the ability to contribute to the field with the encouragement and support provided by the award. Donations also support the Clinical Neuroscience Trainee Award which recognizes trainees considering careers in the clinical neurosciences.

The Solomon Carter Fuller Award

The Solomon Carter Fuller award was established to facilitate attendance at the annual meeting of the International Neuropsychiatric Association (INA), ANPA or the SBCN of a physician trainee in neuropsychiatry or behavioral neurology. A single award is presented at the biennial meeting of the INA and, in the alternate years by either the ANPA or the SBCN. The award is named to honor the memory of Solomon Carter Fuller (1872-1953), the first African American neuropsychiatrist.  Fuller studied neurofibrils with Alois Alzheimer in Munich, practiced neurology and psychiatry in Massachusetts, and trained pathologists in the neuropathology of neuropsychiatric disorders. The intent of this award is to facilitate travel from abroad by an international trainee to one of the above meetings.

AWARD: Awardees will receive $1500 toward travel expenses to attend a meeting in a country other than where they currently train, receive complementary meeting registration, a one-year complementary membership in the organization, and be encouraged to join a working committee according to their interests. Applications should include a CV, letter of nomination from a neuropsychiatry practitioner familiar with the trainee’s work, and a personal statement of up to 500 words explaining the applicant’s training trajectory and career goals. Applicants must submit an abstract for the meeting and the abstract must be accepted for the meeting.

ELIGIBILITY: Current status as a resident, registrar, fellow or physician PhD trainee, with career goal of behavioral neurology or neuropsychiatry.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: The application deadline is the same as the abstract submission deadlines for the meetings. Submit applications to the organization sponsoring the meeting. The organization and meeting will be posted each year.  The 2026 awardee has already been selected for presentation at the INA meeting in Cape Town, South Africa in November. The 2027 award will be presented by ANPA.

SELECTION PROCESS: The meeting host organization leadership will select and notify the recipient after abstract review has been completed. The selection decision is final. Awardees will be expected to attend the entire meeting at which they will receive the award.
