CINP is a genuinely international organization while its Executive Committee and Council
include leadership and knowledge in psychopharmacology from around the
world, who are nominated by the members and serve as an officer of the College for a minimum of 4 years.
The College relies on its many subcommittees who undertake a variety of activities for CINP and are dedicated to developing the many different facets of CINP activity. For example, two of the remits of our Education Committee are to bring neuropsychopharmacology to colleagues in developing regions and to develop and deliver the active mentor-mentee program.
Its membership includes psychiatrists, pharmacologists and other
basic scientists, and research psychologists and is available to any individual to apply for. The membership application is reviewed by a dedicated committee on a regular basis.
