The CPNP Foundation will once again be visible during CPNP’s Annual Meeting recognizing the generous support of our donors, sponsoring the NAMI Walk, and supporting students and residents through various grants.
On the first two days of CPNP 2016 (Sunday, April 17, and Monday, April 18), Foundation donors will be rewarded with the opportunity to have a professional head shot taken, perfect for social media networking. There is no cost to donors as it is the Foundation’s way to say “Thank you.” Don’t miss this opportunity and make your donation now at cpnpf.org/pledge.
Join CPNP Foundation on Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. for the ninth annual 5K run/walk benefitting the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI). Your entrance fee is donated directly to NAMI and matched by CPNP. Run, walk or bypass the walk and sleep in, but donate any amount to this wonderful event benefiting NAMI. A t-shirt is provided to the first 125 participants and donors. If you are attending the Annual Meeting you can sign up for the walk or just donate as part of the CPNP 2016 registration process, or donate directly at cpnpf.org.
The CPNP Foundation once again is providing complimentary registration and partial travel support allowing 20 students to attend CPNP 2016. The Foundation Board strongly believes that it is important to assist students in exploring and growing their interest in the care of individuals with psychiatric and neurologic disorders. What better way to do that than by providing financial support to attend the CPNP meeting. The recipients of these grants are selected by the CPNP Student Committee and a press release has been released announcing those awarded a registration/travel grant.
In 2015, four Defining the Future Research grant applicants were selected to receive funds for their research projects each mirroring one of the current interests of the Foundation which include: 1) Stigma associated with psychiatric and neurologic disorders, and 2) Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) as a best practice.
As a condition of the grant, recipients were required to submit their research for abstract consideration and, if selected, present their research results as a poster at CPNP 2016. We are pleased to announce that all four grant recipients were selected as poster presenters!
These four posters will be recognizable during the poster sessions with a sash indicating that they are a Foundation Grant Recipient. Additionally, all four will be highlighted at the Foundation booth. We encourage you to visit these poster presenters while attending CPNP 2016.
CPNP 2016 will be the first year for the Foundation’s Strategic Goals award to be offered. To be considered, abstracts must address stigma associated with psychiatric disorders or comprehensive medication management as a best practice. The two finalist for this award are:
Award finalists will present their abstracts during the platform presentations on Monday, April 18, at CPNP 2016. Winners for all categories will be announced during the Poster Session on Monday evening.
