Purpose
The Society of Biological Psychiatry offers an annual award of $5,000 to recognize outstanding research investigations in biological psychiatry.
Guidelines
- No application is required for this award.
- The fifteen (15) highest ranked original investigations, among the archival reports in Biological Psychiatry, based upon peer review scores, are provided to the Somerfeld-Ziskind Award Committee by the Biological Psychiatry editorial office. The award committee members review each paper independently and the highest rated paper is considered the award paper.
- The award winner is the first author of the award paper.
- In the event that there are two first authors, the prize will be shared evenly among the first authors.
- Special consideration is given to the originality of the approach and independence of thought in the archival report.
- The studies and the data must not have been published elsewhere.
- The award will be presented by the President of the Society during the Society's Annual Meeting.
