CINP Research Fellowships 2025

Applications for the CINP Research Fellowchips are now open!

The CINP Early Careers Committee is pleased to announce the CINP Research Fellowships 2025, aimed at supporting early-career researchers and clinicians working in the field of neuropsychopharmacology.

Check out information about the 1st edition of the CINP Research Fellowship for Early Careers for reference. If this program is not directly relevant to you, we would be delighted if you could help us spread the word and share the information with your early-career colleagues.

Theme: Digital Innovations in Translational Research and Clinical Studies

This year’s theme focuses on digital innovations in translational research and clinical studies, highlighting cutting-edge methodologies and tools that enhance research and quality improvements (QIs). Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Big data approaches in biological psychiatry
  • Speech analysis to identify new biomarkers
  • Wearable devices and mobile health technologies
  • Neuroscience based Nomenclature: how to make the most of the mobile application

The programme includes online teaching modules with top researchers in their fields as well as an in-person colloquium that will take place immediately before the 36th CINP World Congress in Melbourne, Australia on 15th June 2025. The in-person session will include discussions on assigned papers and presentations from the participants on their research projects and will be followed by a reception.

The expected outcome is a collaborative research project.

Selected participants are required to register for the 36th CINP World Congress (the registration fee will be waived for the successful applicants) and to attend both the online and in-person components of the fellowship programme. Participants who successfully complete the full programme will be awarded with ‘CINP Research Fellow’ certificates. There is no charge to participate in the Research Fellowship Programme, though applicants will be required to arrange their own accommodation and travel for the in-person component in Melbourne.
