2018 PROMISING SCHOLARS AWARD PROGRAM

The 2018 Promising Scholars Award Program, which is jointly sponsored by Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. and the Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Information Service (NMSIS), provides a unique opportunity for talented early career psychiatrists and neurologists to gain experience in scholarly activities and research. Residents, students and fellows are invited to submit a manuscript on the topic, “Tardive Dyskinesia”, for first and second-place awards in the amounts of $2,500 and $1,500, respectively.  Two winners will be selected to receive the awards which will be presented at the Institute for Psychiatric Services: The Mental Health Services Conference next October in Chicago.

Specific learning objectives are;

• Participants will learn the steps necessary to prepare a scientific manuscript for publication.

• Participants will review comments by expert referees and learn to incorporate and respond to the peer review process.

• Participants will review the evidence related to diagnosis and treatment of tardive dyskinesia.

• Participants will be introduced to the spectrum of educational and networking opportunities at national conferences.

Instructions for submission are;

• First author must be a student, resident or fellow.

• Papers should address specific issues related to the theme of tardive dyskinesia and be no longer than 15 double-spaced typed pages in length (excluding references and illustrations).

• Literature reviews, case reports, or studies that are original and newly developed or recently published are acceptable.

• Reviews and feedback will be provided by a panel of academic physicians.

• Papers will be judged on relevance to tardive dyskinesia, originality, scholarship, scientific rigor, valid methodology, clinical significance, and organization.

To participate, papers and curriculum vitae of the first author must be submitted by July 1, 2018 to Ms. Dianne Daugherty via email at dianne@mhaus.org.
