To recognize outstanding scholarship by young psychiatrists in Maryland, the MPS established annual “best paper” awards in 2013.  Previous winners are listed here.  The Academic Psychiatry Committee is currently soliciting nominations for the 2019 Paper of the Year Award in two categories:

Best Paper by an Early Career Psychiatrist Member (ECP):
Eligible psychiatrists are ECP members who are first authors of papers published or in press in 2019.  Thanks to generous funding from the Maryland Foundation for Psychiatry, the winner will receive a $200 cash prize as well as a complimentary ticket to the MPS annual dinner in April 2020.

Best Paper by a Resident-Fellow Member (RFM):
Eligible psychiatrists are Resident-Fellow members who are first authors of papers that were written, in press, and/or published in 2019.  Thanks to generous funding from the Maryland Foundation for Psychiatry, the winner will receive a $200 cash prize as well as a complimentary ticket to the MPS annual dinner in April 2020.

Scholarly work of all kinds (e.g., scientific reports, reviews, case reports) will be considered.  If you would like to nominate a paper and author, please email or mail the paper as indicated below by January 31.  Please include a brief explanation of why you believe the work is worthy of special recognition.
