ACNP Initiatives

ACNP Statement on Clinical Trials Registries (PDF)

Through its official activities and the efforts of its membership, the College will work to ensure that the highest quality of science and ethics are integral to the conduct of clinical trials in our field.

Alcohol Clinical Trials Initiative (ACTIVE Workgroup) (PDF)

The mission of this workgroup is to develop consensus reviews and recommendations to improve the design, execution, and interpretation of trials of medications for the treatment of alcohol dependence. It is not the intention of the group to propose standards that would be considered as requirements for the approval of product applications by regulatory agencies, but to advance the science of clinical trials in alcoholism treatment.

Bridging the Gap with Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) (PPT)

The ACNP Liaison Committee has been working to determine how the College can assist in the effort to ensure that the neuropsychiatric research community can become more involved with CTSAs and utilize the capabilities associated with CTSAs. The attached slide set is for members to familiarize themselves with this effort and to utilize this mechanism to foster neuropsychiatric research programs specifically, as there are very few CTSAs that presently have a psychiatric focus.

In April 2006, The American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) Council endorsed this Code of Conduct for its supporting corporations and their designated representatives.
