The Innovations in Neuropsychopharmacology Award shall be presented annually for work done primarily in Canada by Canadian scientists, unless there is, in view of the Awards Committee, no qualified nominee.

The Awardee(s) is/are expected to give a lecture based on his/her/their research at the Annual Meeting of the CCNP, and to contribute a manuscript, based on the lecture, to the CCNP official journal, the Journal of Psychiatry & Neuroscience, not later than six months after the lecture.
