RESIDENT AWARDS
The American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry (ASAP) offers opportunities for residents/trainees to present a poster session during our annual meeting and submit a paper. Awards are given for each. Applicants desiring to submit both a Poster Session and a Resident Paper Award must choose different material to be considered for both award categories.
ASAP Best Resident/Student/Fellow Poster Award
(Submission Deadline: January 31, 2026)
​
A resident poster can be presented by a resident who is the primary author, adult or child/adolescent psychiatry resident at an accredited institution, or a medical student and eligible for ASAP membership. Any resident submitting a poster will receive complimentary registration to our annual meeting and admission to all activities if held in person and not affiliated with another organization's meeting. ASAP judges will review all poster sessions to select the recipient of the ASAP Best Resident Poster Award. The winner will receive a $500 award to offset costs to attend the meeting (if no in person meeting is held, the winner still receives the award). The winner will be announced at the end of our annual meeting program. Attendees are encouraged to visit the poster session to view the research presented. Set up and other information may be downloaded here.

(Submission Deadline: January 31, 2026)
ASAP accepting submissions for ASAP's Lois T. Flaherty, MD Best Resident Paper on Adolescent Psychiatry Award and is seeking outstanding resident, fellow, or medical student papers on adolescent mental health.

If ASAP holds its annual meeting as a stand alone event, the winner I'll receive complimentary registration to the meeting.
