ROCAPs are encouraged to customize programs to capitalize on their strengths and match the needs and interests of local ECPs.
An officer, assembly delegate, or ECP representative from each applying ROCAP must submit the proposal(s) through the online application. The applicant should provide a detailed budget and a letter of support from the supporting ROCAP.

Applicants should note that the amount of time they propose to spend in their fellowship will be taken into account by the selection committee.
Selection of Mentor Before applying, a student should have an established link with a child and adolescent psychiatrist who is committed to work with the student throughout the summer. The student can then submit an application with a detailed outline of the proposed clinical or research training and a description of the student's involvement in the project.

The fellowship also should include discussion of ethical issues in treatment.
If the fellowship takes place in a research setting, research assignments may include responsibility for part of the observation or evaluation, developing specific aspects of the research mechanisms, conducting interviews or tests, use of rating scales, and psychological or cognitive testing of subjects.

The student is required to submit a final paper summarizing the clinical/research training experience, a copy of the research poster presented at the Annual Meeting (if applicable), a thank you letter to the funder, and a program evaluation.
