About The John H Lloyd Neuropsychiatry Prize

The John H Lloyd Neuropsychiatry Prize (the Award) is awarded to an RANZCP trainee or newly  qualified Fellow or Affiliate for the best Scholarly Project or equivalent research activity. 

Dr. Lloyd was Director of the Statewide Neuropsychiatric Centre / Unit in Victoria between 1972 and  2001. Dr Lloyd was an esteemed clinician in neuropsychiatry and psychiatry whose opinion was often  seen as 'the gold standard'. He was a clinical mentor and teacher for several generations of psychiatry  trainees in Victoria.

Eligibility Criteria 

The Prize will be awarded for the best Scholarly Project or equivalent research activity focused on issues  relevant to clinical neuropsychiatry. Clinical neuropsychiatry is a clinical subspecialty of psychiatry which  assesses and treats psychiatric disorders which are associated with suspected or confirmed brain  pathology. 

The Prize is open to current RANZCP trainees, or Fellows or Affiliate members within two years of  obtaining their primary specialist psychiatry qualifications prior to the annual awards program open date. 

Applicants shall have completed meritorious research in the field of clinical neuropsychiatry, which  should have been performed at least partly in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand. 

The research can  take the form of active research, a substantial quality improvement project, case series or literature  review. Submissions would usually be made on an individual basis (lead author), but two or more applicants  may apply as a group if their contribution to the work is as co-leads. 

Previous recipients of the Prize will not be eligible to receive the Prize on a further occasion.

Application/Nomination Process  

The selection process will take into account the need for training and experience not readily available in  the applicant’s home country, and the capacity of the applicant to improve local child and adolescent  mental health services on return to their home country.

Form of Award  

The Prize comprises:
• A framed award certificate
• A$500
• An invitation to accept the award at the College Ceremony during Congress.
It does not include travel support or registration for the recipient(s) to attend Congress or the Section Conference.

Frequency

The Prize is made available annually in line with the RANZCP awards program. If there are no suitable applicants, the Prize will not be made in that year.
