ACNP Honorific Awards - Dolores Shockley Diversity and Inclusion Advancement Award Grant

The ACNP Honorific Awards - Dolores Shockley Diversity and Inclusion Advancement Award recognizes individuals and programs that excel in promoting diversity and inclusion in neuroscience. This award highlights leadership and mentorship for young scientists from historically excluded groups, acknowledging both individual achievements and institutional efforts. The award includes a monetary prize and a plaque, presented during the Annual Meeting. Nominations are encouraged from all scientists, with a preference for those supporting underrepresented groups.

The American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) presents the Dolores Shockley Diversity and Inclusion Advancement Award to an individual and/or program (e.g., department, initiative, institute, etc.) that has had outstanding success promoting Diversity and Inclusion within the fields of basic, clinical, or translational neuroscience. Applications for the award will be considered annually but need not be awarded every year. Nominations of individuals and programs will be considered separately, so an award may be given in both categories in any one year.
The Dolores Shockley Award seeks to recognize exceptional leadership, innovation, and success in promoting inclusion and career development of young scientists from historically excluded groups – either through acts of individual mentorship, or collective efforts and dedicated programs within institutions. The award consists of a monetary award and a plaque to be given during the Annual Meeting. The awardee (or representatives from the awarded department) must attend the Annual Meeting.
