Rafaelson Young Investigators award
The International College of Neuropsychopharmacology
In 1986 Ole Rafaelsen and William Bunney were instrumental in establishing a CINP programme supporting the atten-
dance of young scientists at the XVth CINP Congress in 1986. That programme was posthumously named the Rafaelsen
Fellowship Award to honor Dr. Rafaelsen, who died in 1987.
The recipients of the 29th Congress Awards will be chosen by an international scientific jury by early March 2014.
A number of Awardees will be selected and presented with Awards consisting of round trip economy air travel, up to four
nights accommodation, a certificate, a cash stipend including an element for ground transportation and waived registra-
tion fees at the 29th CINP Congress in Vancouver, Canada.
