Research Mentee Award

Foundation Research Professor will mentor three early career award winners

• 2021 ACLP Foundation Research Professor, David Arciniegas, MD, FANPA, FACLP, will mentor ACLP’s latest three winners of the Academy’s Early Career Researcher Mentee Awards.
• Up to three mentees are selected each year for the awards aimed at promoting interest in C-L Psychiatry research and supporting emerging talent. The awards are part of the ACLP Foundation Research Professor Program launched in 2016 in memory of Wayne Katon, MD, FACLP, Academy president 2012-13, and his contribution to research, and to the mentoring of young researchers.
• Administered by the Academy’s Research & Evidence-Based Practice Committee, the awards include face-to-face mentoring, and complimentary annual meeting registration with hotel accommodation and a stipend to offset travel costs.
• Dr. Arciniegas—professor and senior research neuropsychiatrist and professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, University of New Mexico School of Medicine—met the award winners on a Zoom call hosted by the committee’s incoming chair Chris Celano, MD, FACLP. Here are video extracts:

ACLP president Philip Bialer, MD, FACLP, has congratulated the 82 mentors in the Academy’s 2020-21 program: “Your participation in this program is vital to our mentees’ success and the future generation of C-L psychiatrists. With your collective volunteering, this program enabled nearly 100 trainees to participate and deepen their involvement and expertise in C-L Psychiatry.”
