PMRTP Minority Travel Awards
The American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education (APIRE) is seeking nominations for minority medical students and residents to attend the 162nd Annual Meeting of the APA May 16-21, 2009 in San Francisco, CA
APIRE proposes to fund through the Program for Minority Research Training in Psychiatry (PMRTP) up to 10 underrepresented minority "mini-fellows" (medical students or general and child psychiatric residents) to attend the APA annual meeting.
The attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the meeting, to talk with senior researchers and peers, and to learn about potential fellowships, which will be a valuable experience for these individuals.
Through the grant the APA will pay the following for the "mini-fellows" selected:
- Travel to and from the meeting (from their home base) and;
- Hotel accommodations for up to five nights.
For more information and to receive a nomination form and accompanying instructions, please contact Ernesto Guerra: 1-800-852-1390 or by e-mail: eguerra@psych.org.
Deadline for submitting nominations to APIRE: February 20, 2009.
