The awards include a travel and expense stipend of $3,500 to attend the ADAA Annual Conference and the invitation-only Scientific Satellite Meeting in March and the annual meeting of the American College of Neuropsycho-pharmacology in December, a one-year ADAA membership and a personal profile in ADAA’s newsletter.
