Robert Kerwin International Conference Bursaries
Prof. Robert Kerwin, 1955 - 2007
Professor Rob Kerwin was instrumental in advising, supporting and acting as mentor for numerous people early in their careers in psychopharmacology. To commemorate this, the Council of the British Association for Psychopharmacology introduced annual bursaries in 2008, to be awarded in his name.
The bursaries are available to individuals who are current Members of BAP and have held their membership for a minimum of 6 months. Applicants will be studying for a higher degree (PhD, MD) or will have been awarded such a degree in the last 3 years. Each bursary covers travel expenses and the registration fee for an international conference, together with subsistence. The conference could be held in the UK, but should be international.
Bursary recipients are expected to attend the BAP Summer Meeting and also write an article for the BAP Newsletter.
The 2009 Bursaries were awarded to Susannah Murphy (Oxford) and Darragh Downey (Manchester).
The deadline for applications for the 2010 bursaries has now closed.
