BAP Education: Pre-Clinical Bursary Awards

Bursary Awards for Undertaking the BAP Certificate in Preclinical Psychopharmacology

Applications for 2010-2011 awards NOW CLOSED

The British Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP) is strongly committed to promoting and encouraging research in the area of preclinical 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 Preclinical Certificate.

To further support preclinical scientists and to confirm our continuing commitment to advancing understanding in Psychopharmacology the BAP is pleased to extend, for a second year, its scheme for offering bursaries to individuals wishing to further their professional development and expertise in Preclinical Psychopharmacology.

The bursaries, which will be awarded on a competitive basis, will enable successful candidates to attend all eight of the Preclinical Certificate training modules, leading to the award of a Preclinical Certificate in Psychopharmacology.

Bursary Details

• The Bursaries will cover the registration fee for each module but not overnight accommodation. Travel expenses will not generally be covered. However, the BAP will endeavor to assist with information on local delegates and transport sharing. Where expenses for public transport are 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 Preclinical Psychopharmacology who meets application criteria.
• A total of 3 bursaries will be awarded for each year of the Certificate.

A list of the modules and further details of the Preclinical Certificate can be found here.
