APA Joins in Rep. Kennedy's Brain Research Campaign

APA has joined an impressive list of government officials, mental health advocacy groups and experts, scientists, and clinicians to launch former Congressman Patrick Kennedy’s campaign to support the development of effective new treatments for neurological and mental disorders and dramatically increase funding for and coordination of brain research. The American Psychiatric Foundation, APA's charitable and educational arm, has stepped up with a $50,000 grant to support the conference that will launch the campaign, known as “The Next Frontier: One Mind for the Brain.” Read more about this major effort to advance brain research in the May 6 issue of Psychiatric News, accessible on May 6 at http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/content/46/9.toc.
