History
SRP was formed following a 1985 conference in Ithaca, New York on positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Attendees decided that the meeting had been very successful and a valuable exchange of ideas and data among researchers. They all agreed that it would be great to have such a meeting of schizophrenia researchers annually, and thus SRP was born. The first meeting was held in William James Hall at Harvard University in October, 1986. Since then, the organization has met each fall and has grown from a small group of schizophrenia researchers to a roster of over 125 top researchers in all areas of psychopathology.

Full membership is restricted to established researchers in the field of psychopathology. Associate membership is available for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are conducting research in psychopathology. The organization remains small by professional organization standards, allowing members to share the experience of attending and discussing the plenary sessions.

SRP publishes a newsletter annually. Originating in 1990 as Psychopathology Research, since 2007 the Newsletter provides student-conducted interviews of prominent SRP members, focusing on their research and professional careers. Archive of SRP newsletters.

Awards
SRP presents four awards each year. Lists of all award winners.

The Joseph Zubin Award is presented to an individual for lifetime contributions to the understanding of psychopathology. The first award was given in 1987 to Dr. Joseph Zubin and in 1990 the annual award was officially named in his honor.

The Smadar Levin Award honors the memory of Smadar Levin, who left a lasting mark on psychopathology research before her untimely death in 1989. The award is given to the graduate student or other predoctoral individual(s) who makes the most outstanding poster presentation at the annual meeting. Up to five other strong poster presentations receive SRP Travel Awards.

The SRP Early Career Award recognizes exceptional young scholars in the field of psychopathology who have shown considerable promise and productivity in the formative years of their career.

The SRP John Neale Sustained Mentorship Award recognizes an exceptional scholar in the field of psychopathology who throughout his/her career has demonstrated continuous dedication to mentoring students, post-docs, and faculty in the field. The award honors the memory of its first recipient.

The SRP President’s Award was created to encourage and facilitate participation in the Society by young scholars from diverse backgrounds and from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the Society. It supports travel to attend and participate in the annual meeting.
