The American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) is the 'nation's premier professional society in brain, behavior, and psychopharmacology research.' It describes itself as a non-profit, professional society dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of and the dissemination of knowledge about neuropsychiatric disorders in order to advance their prevention and treatment.' [1]

Policies on Financial Disclosure & Conflicts of Interest (COI)
The ACNP has 'historically provided a venue at which the best scientists from academia, government, and industry have gathered to share, discuss, and debate their research'. To facilitate this, the College is funded by 'membership dues, royalties from publication sales, meeting registration fees, and grants from corporations or governmental agencies.'[2] It aims to eradicate potential real and perceived COIs by using 'firewalls' to 'protect the integrity of College operations and to prevent the influence of financial sponsors from penetrating decision making processes of the College.' [3]
