Award Requirements:

- Candidates must not have any previous significant, individual research funding in the field of child and adolescent mental health.

Candidates who have received or are currently receiving "T32" funding support are eligible to apply.
- Candidates must either be AACAP members or have a membership application pending (not paid by the award) and agree to submit a poster presentation on their research for AACAP’s 71st Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA October 14-19, 2024.
