| THE SACKLER AWARD The Sackler
Institute Award supports research on the early developmental origins
of psychiatric illness. The proposed studies should be directed at gaining
a better understanding of fundamental developmental processes at the
cellular, organismic or clinical level and should be clearly related
to the etiology of psychiatric conditions. The award provides one year
of salary support for a postdoctoral fellow or faculty member at the
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. The Endowment
provides $50,000 for the first year, for salary and Columbia fringe
benefits. The money can also be used to support a research assistant.
Renewal for one additional year may be granted by the Award Committee,
according to the scope of the project and its progress in the first
year.
