Overview

Mission

To advance the science, practice, and education of clinical psychopharmacology, and to improve the health and well-being of our patients.

What it reported doing in 2024

Conferences: annual meeting: the annual meeting is a scientific meeting that focuses on the latest developments in psychopharmacologic research and related methodology. The meeting brings together academic, government and industry researchers in a single forum. Psychopharmacology: state of the art: this program is designed to provide state-of-the-art education on new developments in psychopharmacology for psychiatrists and other professionals already knowledgeable about drug treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 60% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
