Mission & Focus Areas
In its 2024 filing, APA says its members specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders, including substance use. The filing describes continuing medical education and lifelong learning for psychiatrists, residents, and medical students; publishing books, journals, and electronic products, including the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; research and training; and government relations, communications, and efforts to ensure patient access to mental health services. APA’s website identifies patient-centered, evidence-driven care, medical leadership, member success, and organizational strength among its guiding priorities.
The filing’s 2024 grants identify SAMHSA grants and CALF grants as purposes. Among supported organizations described in their own words, Emory University says its mission is to create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in the service of humanity. The Treatment Advocacy Center says it seeks to eliminate barriers to timely and effective treatment of severe mental illness through advocacy, public education, and support for affected individuals and families. The New York State Psychiatric Association says it advances psychiatry, advocates for people with mental illness, encourages research and study, and provides a forum for members. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not APA’s.
Grantmaking
APA’s 2024 filing reports 12 grants totaling $566,398. Grants ranged from $10,000 to $111,701, with a median of $36,923. The largest grants were $111,701 to Emory University for a SAMHSA grant, $105,266 to the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors for a SAMHSA grant, and $78,065 to the University of Maryland Baltimore for a SAMHSA grant. Other listed recipients included the Hawaii Psychiatric Medical Association ($52,581; CALF grant), NAMI Inc. ($49,939; SAMHSA grant), and the Treatment Advocacy Center ($37,846; SAMHSA grant).
APA’s website lists award opportunities, including the Agnes Purcell McGavin awards for child and adolescent psychiatrists and the Solomon Carter Fuller Award. The listed award amounts are $1,500 for each McGavin award and $500 for the Solomon Carter Fuller Award. These are awards to individuals, rather than evidence of grants to outside applicants. APA’s website also describes fellowships and medical student programs; some are funded by the APA Foundation or SAMHSA, so they should not be treated as APA grants to outside organizations based on the information provided.
