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.
