American Psychiatric Association Research Colloquium for Junior Investigators 2016 (Fully Funded) – Call for Applications

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has officially invited applications for the Research Colloquium for Junior Investigators 2016, scheduled to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, alongside the APA Annual Meeting. The one-day academic program will take place on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center and is designed to support early-career psychiatrists who are beginning their research careers.

This colloquium is a focused academic gathering where selected participants will present and discuss their research in a small group setting with senior leaders in psychiatric research. The program aims to provide direct mentorship, career guidance, and exposure to research development and grantsmanship.

What the Program Offers

Selected applicants will receive a $1,000 travel stipend to attend the meeting and participate in discussions with experienced psychiatric researchers. The event is structured as an immersive learning experience, helping young investigators understand how research projects are developed, funded, and published.

Participants will also benefit from:

• Direct mentorship from established psychiatric researchers

• Networking with national academic leaders

• Career development guidance

• Insights into research funding and grant writing

• Exposure to collaborative research opportunities

Eligibility

The program is open to medical professionals in psychiatry who are in the early stages of their academic careers, including:

• Junior faculty members (MDs)

The opportunity specifically targets individuals who are actively engaged in psychiatric research or planning to build a long-term academic research career.

Why This Opportunity Matters

For young psychiatrists, mentorship and early exposure to the research community can significantly shape academic careers. The APA Research Colloquium creates a space where early investigators can receive feedback directly from experienced researchers and better understand how clinical research moves from idea to publication and patient care impact.

It also helps participants build professional connections within the psychiatric research community, which is often a key factor in future fellowships, grants, and faculty positions.
