CINP Ethics Prize in Psychopharmacology
The International College of Neuropsychopharmacology
CINP is pleased to announce that in 2014 the Ethics Prize in Psychopharmacology will be presented at the 29th World
Congress in parallel with the other international CINP sponsored awards. The Ethics Prize in Psychopharmacology will
recognise an individual’s outstanding achievements in ethics research within the field of psychopharmacology as well as
their contribution to the promotion of public awareness of ethics in psychopharmacology and contributions to the world-
wide solution of issues and questions within the ethical practice of psychopharmacology. While the subject of ethics
involves all of human behaviour; ethics within medicine and medical research, particularly within the field of psychophar-
macology, raises numerous sensitive issues related to the very essence of human nature. Areas included for consideration
in this prize include 1) ethics of scientific responsibility in publishing in psychopharmacology; 2) conflict of interest in
clinical research; 3) treatment of research subjects both human and animal; 4) informed consent in psychopharmacology
research and 5) doctor patient relationships in psychopharmacology.
Applicants must be nominated by a CINP member and include a CV and one to three page statement of the justification
of the nomination. Applications to this award will be judged by the Ethics Prize Committee, an international committee
of experts in the field. All submissions should be received by Friday 10
th
January 2014. The successful applicant will re-
ceive complimentary registration and up to four nights’ accommodation at the Congress Hotel.
