THE DOUGLAS MOSSMAN RESEARCH AWARD

The Midwest Chapter of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (MWAAPL) createdthe Mossman award in honor of Dr. Douglas Mossman, one of the best researchers and educators in the field of forensic psychiatry.

The Mossman Research Award is meant to recognize excellence in forensic psychiatry scholarship. Although applicants do not need to have a connection to the Midwest to qualify for this award, we strongly encourage Midwest applicants. PGY3s, PGY4s, psychiatry fellows and early career forensic psychiatrists (five or less years out of forensic fellowship) are eligible to apply.

This year’s Mossman Research Award stipend will cover the cost of the meeting registration and a $250 stipend to be used for travel and accommodations.

The application must include:

  • A cover letter indicating intent to apply for The Mossman Research Award. Trainees should include their current training program, training director, and training year. Early career forensic psychiatrists should include their place of employment, how many years they are out of training, and the name(s) of research mentor(s).
  • They must have a letter from their training director and/or forensic psychiatry research mentor nominating the individual. Early career psychiatrists can submit a mentor letter and/or a letter of support from a collaborator if appropriate.
  • A statement by the applicant (no longer than 500 words) detailing their forensic psychiatry research and scholarship. If the individual has a Midwest connection, it should be included in the personal statement.
