We wish to advise you about the upcoming process for applying for a Department of Psychiatry Academic Projects (DPAP) Award for the 2021 Award cycle.
 
We hope that some of you will see this as a rich opportunity to develop your academic prowess, with our DOP’S fiscal support for your potential project/research.
As an initial step, we are now open to receive a Letter of Intent (LOI), to be provided by the primary applicant/ principal investigator. The LOI  might include:
1. The project title;
2. A short descriptor(3-5 paragraphs/ 500-1200 words) describing the intended academic project;
3. Names of any co-collaborators, including residents or learners; and
4. The name and full (e-mail and formal mail) contact information of the principal investigator.
 
Please note these changes introduced for the 2021 DPAP Awards:
1. Adjunct DOP Appointees may now apply as primary investigators IF there is a psychiatrist co-investigator; AND
2. The previous 10,000$ support ceiling is more flexible, and larger projects requiring larger funding will also be considered.

Applicants  are expected to email an electronic copy (Word OR PDF) of the LOI or mail a LOI to:
