Award Overview |
One of the major goals of the
National Education Alliance for
Borderline Personality Disorder
(NEA-BPD) is to promote research on
borderline personality disorder
(BPD), and, thus, to support young
investigators. The Young
Investigator Award (YIA) is
sponsored by NEA-BPD and designed to
encourage investigation in BPD and
to reward outstanding research in
this area. The YIA recipient will be
invited to present his or her
research at a NEA-BPD Conference (supported in part by
NIMH), to be held in the fall of
2009. In addition,
the Award winner will receive a
monetary prize.
