BAP Education: Pre-Clinical Bursary Awards
Bursary Awards for Undertaking the BAP Certificate in Pre-clinical Psychopharmacology
The British Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP) is strongly committed to promoting and encouraging research in the area of pre-clinical and clinical Psychopharmacology.
For many years the BAP has provided high calibre training in psychopharmacology through the highly successful and over-subscribed Clinical Certificate and the popular and acclaimed Pre-clinical Certificate.
To further support pre-clinical scientists and our continuing commitment to advancing understanding in the area of Psychopharmacology, the BAP relaunched the competitive award in the form of a bursary scheme from July 2011. The scheme benefits individuals wishing to further their professional development and expertise in important topics of Pre-clinical Psychopharmacology by undertaking the BAP Certificate in Pre-clinical Psychopharmacology.
These competitive, BAP Council-panel reviewed, awards enable the successful candidates to attend all 8 of the Pre-clinical Certificate training modules, with completion resulting in the award of a Certificate.
Bursary Details
- Bursaries will cover the registration cost for each module but not overnight accommodation. Travel expense will not generally be covered, however the BAP will endeavour to assist with information on local delegates and transport sharing. Where public travel expense is necessary, an allowance of up to £50 per module will be reimbursed to the delegate upon receipt of travel documents/receipts. Whenever possible, travel arrangements should be made well in advance to keep costs to a minimum.
- Applications are welcomed from Postgraduates (including PhD and Masters students) Postdocs and anyone with a professional interest in Pre-clinical Psychopharmacology who meets application criteria.
- A total of up to 3 bursaries will be awarded for each year of the Certificate cycle. Each cycle consists of 8 training modules. The current cycle commenced in July 2011 and ends in April 2013.
A list of the modules and further details of the Pre-clinical Certificate can be found here.
