Promoting careers and professional development is a central focus of ADAA and is a path to future leadership. Since its inception in 1998, the ADAA awards program has provided more than one million dollars to 400 aspiring professionals and given them access to a professional home, unique pairings with senior mentors from our membership, and access to engaged participation at the annual conference. For 2020 awardees - all awards will be presented at the 2021 Boston Annual Conference Reception. 

Alies Muskin Career Development Leadership Program

The Alies Muskin Career Development Leadership Award Program (CDLP) is an intensive mentoring and professional development opportunity for early career clinicians and researchers that is offered at ADAA's annual conference.

 

This interactive learning experience challenges thinking and encourages creative discourse about anxiety, depression and co-occurring disorders in a diverse, multidisciplinary community of professionals involved in practice and research.

 

This program is a wonderful opportunity to benefit from episodic mentoring and to develop skills to become more professionally competitive. The CDLP's focus is to offer an environment where ADAA's next generation of leaders can flourish.

 

CDLP awardees are grouped among two tracks:
 

  • Basic Neuroscience/Clinical Research
  • Clinical
    • Previously called the Practice Track,  newly titled Clinical track will sustain programming for clinicians whose primary career focus is providing clinical care in private practice, hospital settings, community mental health centers, and other clinical or research settings.  In addition, we will also develop programming for faculty or staff on Clinical Tracks in academic institutions.
