Become a Champion of C-L Psychiatry

The Foundation of ACLP

Since 2009, the Foundation of ACLP has financially supported the Academy’s mission on several key fronts: developing leaders in the field, recognizing significant achievements, and advancing research efforts.

The Foundation relies on the generosity of ACLP members and others who share our vision to move Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry forward. Dues alone are no longer enough. With your support, the Academy can continue its vital work in providing leadership in a new age of health care defined by collaboration.

Your Donations in Action

By giving to the Foundation of ACLP, you play a pivotal role in:

• Developing leaders in C-L Psychiatry
  The Foundation provides financial assistance to the Academy’s Webb Fellowship program, annually awarded to up to six residents or fellows to aid their growth and encourage longstanding involvement in ACLP.
• Funding the Visiting Professorship Program
  The Visiting Professorship Program funds a one- to three-day visit of a senior Academy member to an institution to promote the understanding and practice of C-L Psychiatry. This popular and competitive program is a vital pathway to promoting new forms of C-L Psychiatry techniques and research at applying institutions.
• Building a foundation for the future
  The Foundation manages the funding for the Don R. Lipsitt Award for Achievement in Integrated and Collaborative Care, created to recognize a mid-career psychiatrist currently making substantial contributions to the evolving field of integrated behavioral health.
• The ACLP Foundation Research Professor Program
  Developed in memory of Dr. Wayne Katon, Academy president 2012-13, this award brings a leading researcher to the annual meeting and facilitates research mentorship to early career researchers. The overall objectives of the awards are to promote interest in consultation-liaison psychiatry research, and to support the development of emerging talent in the field.
