Insight Matters
Fall, 2004

Award will recognize ECP research

The Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Information Service (NMSIS) is pleased to announce a competition to recognize promising new investigators based on a scholarly paper addressing "New insights on psychotropic drug safety and side effects". Consistent with its mission to advance pharmacotherapy and patient safety, NMSIS offers these awards to promote education and research by early career psychiatrists. Two prizes of $2500 and $1500 will be awarded toward travel costs to attend the American Psychiatric Association Meeting in May 2005.

  • Papers should address specific issues related to the award theme and be no longer than 15 double space typed pages in length.
  • Literature reviews, case reports, or original studies that are not in press or published are acceptable.
  • Primary author must be a student, resident, fellow or junior faculty member at or below the rank of Assistant Professor.
  • Papers will be judged on originality, scholarship, relevance and methodology.

To participate, papers and curriculum vitae of the primary author must be submitted by February 1, 2005 to Ms. Diane Van Slyke, 11 East State Street, Sherburne, NY 13460, fax 607-674-7910, or via email to diane@mhaus.org. Winners will be announced by March 1, 2005. This program is made possible by a restricted educational grant from Janssen Medical Affairs, LLC.
