ADAA offers annual membership scholarships to students and early career professionals who identify as members of the BIPOC community.
The BIPOC Membership Scholarship Award aims to increase the diversity of our membership and therefore the diversity of those in attendance to our annual ADAA conference. This program allows early career professionals and students from underrepresented backgrounds in science who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a person of color to participate in an evidence-based, interdisciplinary, and mission driven organization bringing the latest in scientific advancement to our professional and public communities.
ADAA's professional community opens the door to enhancing leadership skills and to learning from and networking with a diverse international peer community of mental health professionals and students committed to making a difference in the lives of those struggling with anxiety disorders and depression.
This opportunity offers a two-year ADAA Membership to graduate degree students (MD, MPH, MS/MSW, NP, PhD, PsyD), interns, residents, postdoctoral fellows, or early career professionals of color who focus on anxiety or depression, and related disorders. Along with this membership, awardees will receive discounted registration to the 2025 ADAA Annual Conference.
"ADAA has encouraged my research interest to understand risk and protective factors for psychopathology in minority child populations who have experienced adversity, thorough opportunities of poster presentations and scholarship. ADAA has strived to advance psychological research for all through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a minimal anchor, in that they also encourage collaboration and mentoring to future BIPOC leaders." Nia Cole, PhD - 2024 BIPOC awardee
