About NARSAD
Message from the President
NARSAD: The Mental Health Research Association is the world’s
leading charity for research on mental illnesses. It funds innovative
scientific research on the causes, treatment and prevention of a range
of serious neuoropsychiatric disorders.
From the time it began giving grants in 1987 as the National Alliance
for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression, NARSAD had distributed through the end of 2006 nearly $200 million in research funds
to 2,284 scientists in 347 institutions in the United States and 25
other countries. NARSAD’s scope of funding now extends well
beyond schizophrenia and depression to include bipolar disorder,
anxiety disorders, and a range of childhood and adolescent disorders.
NARSAD’s research grant programs support the work of outstanding scientists based at universities, medical centers and other
nonprofit medical research institutions worldwide. Our Young
Investigator grants encourage innovative ideas by talented earlycareer scientists, including many who are just launching research.
NARSAD’s Independent Investigator grants sustain the work of
mid-career scientists who have established successful research
programs and demonstrated unique investigative insights. The
Distinguished Investigator program facilitates breakthrough
research by leaders in the field. All research grants are reviewed
and recommended by NARSAD’s distinguished 94-member
Scientific Council.
In recent years, NARSAD has become the major nongovernmental
source of grants for psychiatric research at leading American
universities, including the University of California, Columbia,
Harvard and Yale.
NARSAD-funded research frequently leads to additional, major
funding from the government and other private sources. In part
this reflects NARSAD’s success in identifying worthy high-risk,
high-reward research projects at their earliest stages of development.
The implications are well captured by Steven B. Hyman, provost
of Harvard University and a former director of the National Institute
of Mental Health:
“There is no organization in the United States doing
a better job of dealing with the gap between our nation’s
real and profound public health needs and our ability
to fund research than NARSAD. What NARSAD
traditionally has done is to fund young investigators —
the source of our innovation and new ideas — in a really
generous way.”

Message from the
President
The year 2006 was a special one for NARSAD. It marked the 20th anniversary of the
formation of our Scientific Council and its initiation of our research programs. The year
was also marked by major research achievements announced and published by many
of our grantees, whose work moves us steadily toward our goal of “better treatments
and cures for severe mental illnesses.”
Our donor base is growing as evidenced by increased number of donors, contributions and endowment. In 2006,
NARSAD raised $17.1 million from both new and loyal donors and earned $1.4 million of investment income from
its growing endowment. The cumulative amount of funds raised by NARSAD, including special grants designated to
cover our entire administrative and overhead expenses, has totaled $222 million since our inception in 1987. NARSAD
continues its long-term relationship with two family foundations that have generously committed to underwriting
these expenses.
Through 2006, NARSAD provided nearly $200 million for 2,948 research grants to 2,284 scientists at 347 universities
and medical research institutions in the United States and worldwide.
Research Grant Awards
In 2006, NARSAD provided $19 million in new research grant funding. The highly selective process employed by the
Scientific Council in awarding research grants resulted in only 23 percent of the applicants receiving funding. There
were 20 Distinguished Investigator grants provided to leading-edge researchers in a variety of disciplines, including
some of the most widely recognized, innovative thinkers in psychiatric and neuroscience research. Each received
$100,000 for their special research projects over one year. The Young Investigator program, which we initiated in 1987,
awarded grants to 206 early-career scientists, each receiving one- or two-year grants of $30,000 and $60,000 respectively, to enhance their research and accelerate their careers. New grants were also awarded to 46 scientists in the
Independent Investigator program, each of whom received $100,000 for a two-year period. Additionally, Young
and Independent Investigators from 2005 who were in the second year of their NARSAD research projects received
ongoing support.
Research Leverage
A vital result of NARSAD grants is their role as a catalyst for new research programs. Year after year, NARSAD grantees
report that the scientific work accomplished with funding they receive from NARSAD leads to new, often larger grants.
In 2006, NARSAD initiated a new survey of such subsequent grants received by NARSAD investigators. Data from the
20 percent of grantees who responded showed that they received subsequent new grant funding equal to 19 times the
amount of their original NARSAD grants. In financial terms, this is exceptional leverage, suggesting that NARSAD
provides the basis for new and larger research programs.
Honoring the Scientific Council
NARSAD’s board of directors and supporters honored our Scientific Council’s 20th anniversary as a special component
of our annual New York gala in October. The Council, a group of leading scientists covering the broad spectrum of
psychiatric and neuroscience research, has provided the grant-making strategies and grantee selection and review
process at the core of NARSAD’s achievements. Each of the 94 members of the Scientific Council is a volunteer,
generously devoting time and effort to identifyng the most promising research projects.
Beginning as a small group in 1986, the Scientific Council has frequently elected new members in order to meet the
challenges of fast-developing science and new technologies. In 2006, six new members were added to the Council:
1
Robert W. Buchanan, M.D.; Peter Buckley, M.D.; B. J. Casey, Ph.D.; Richard Keefe, Ph.D.; Godfrey D. Pearlson, M.D.;
and Pasko Rakic, M.D., Ph.D. These new members add luster to the Council, which has included three Nobel Prize
winners, Eric Kandel, M.D., Paul Greengard, Ph.D., and the late Julius Axelrod, Ph.D., as well as four former directors
of the National Institute of Mental Health, among whom is the president of our Scientific Council, Herbert Pardes, M.D.
The current NIMH director, Thomas Insel, M.D., previously served on the Council before being appointed to his
NIMH post.
Thirty-five Scientific Council members, each wearing a ribbon and medallion of honor, joined the 20th anniversary
celebration, providing a dramatic moment as they entered the ballroom together to the music of Handel sung by members of “Sing for Hope,” an extraordinary group of professional musicians that frequently performs for charity events.
Growing Donor Base
Broadening NARSAD’s base of support remained a key concentration throughout the year. We accelerated this effort
through new fund-raising events, our publications, increased public participation in our annual schedule of regional
events and our websites — all creating a major impact. There were two additions to our events calendar in 2006:
NARSAD’s inaugural Los Angeles “Campaign for the Brain — Silver Ribbon Weekend” and the first annual Boston
Mental Health Research Symposium and Dinner.
2
The Los Angeles “Campaign for the Brain – Silver Ribbon Weekend” events brought the
NARSAD message to Southern California under the leadership of Hal and Patsy Hollister, whose
founding and development of NARSAD Artworks is legend in Los Angeles and well known
throughout the country. The June weekend opened with a gala dinner, at Paramount Studios
in Hollywood, that honored former first lady Rosalynn Carter for her achievements in the mental
health field. The dinner was followed the next day by a free public symposium which was held
in Royce Hall at University of California, Los Angeles, and led by Lewis Baxter, M.D., and
renowned NARSAD prize-winning scientist Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D.
The initiation of a NARSAD symposium and dinner in Boston in April was, in a special
sense, a homecoming. No other community has received as many NARSAD grants as
Boston, with a total of 362 to date representing more than $15 million. The medical research
institutions in Boston have fostered the scientific promise sought by NARSAD’s Scientific
Council. Our free public symposium was funded by the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation,
which also provided generous support to the third annual Mental Health Research
Symposium and Dinner in St. Louis, Missouri.
Lee and Robert Peterson, long-time leaders of NARSAD’s board, organized their ninth
annual “Sunshine from Darkness” Symposium and Gala in Sarasota, Florida. Once
again this event attracted over 1,200 participants. The gala dinner honored NARSAD’s
renowned humanitarian awardee Mike Wallace.
February brought NARSAD’s third annual “Mission Possible” weekend
in Washington, D.C. The leadership of this event by board member
Sheila Rabaut guaranteed an extraordinary dinner in the Andrew W.
Mellon Auditorium with Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute
of Mental Health, as honoree. Dr. Insel also moderated the weekend’s free
public symposium, which featured presentations on childhood and adolescent disorders by NARSAD Scientific Council members and grantees, all
outstanding scientists.

for the event, Frank Sesno, and committee chair Wendy Adeler-Hall.
The winter-season achievements of NARSAD’s volunteer leaders culminated in the Palm
Beach “Sunshine from Darkness” Gala and Symposium, organized for the third year
by Sallie and Alex Van Rensselaer. The gala, which was set at the luxurious and renowned
Mar-a-Lago, was a high point of the resort’s charity season. The gala was further
distinguished by its honoree, CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who spoke movingly about his
brother’s mental illness. The following day, a free public symposium for the community
offered an outstanding panel of NARSAD researchers.
The annual meeting of NARSAD’s board of directors and Scientific
above:
Council in July featured the presentation of the 2006 Peterson Award
Sallie and Alex Van
to Mary and Mike Wallace. Both have used their great talents in behalf
Rensselaer
of NARSAD and its cause. Mary has served as a member of NARSAD’s
left: Anderson Cooper
board and Mike has been a powerful speaker and leader on the challenges
of mental illness and the potential for recovery. (Both also spoke in a
NARSAD co-sponsored public television series on mental illness, “Healthy
Minds,” which made its debut in 2006.) Through the Peterson Award, the board of directors continues to honor those
who work in the spirit of esteemed long-time supporters and board leaders Lee and Bob Peterson.
The Gala Awards Celebration
NARSAD’s 19th annual New York Gala took place at the Pierre Hotel in October. It celebrated the Scientific Council’s
20th anniversary, and also honored the six scientists receiving NARSAD prizes for outstanding achievement in brain
and behavior research.
The Lieber Prize for Schizophrenia Research was awarded to Jeffrey Lieberman, M.D., of Columbia University;
the Falcone Prize for Affective Disorders Research went to Lori Altshuler of UCLA; the Ruane Prize for Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry was awarded to David Shaffer, M.D., of Columbia University and David Brent, M.D.,
of the University of Pittsburgh; the Goldman-Rakic Prize for Cognitive Neuroscience Research was presented
to Joaquin Fuster, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of California at Los Angeles; and the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Prize went
to Lorna Role, Ph.D., of Columbia University. The weekend began with NARSAD’s annual all-day Young Investigator
Symposium on Friday, and continued Saturday morning. Over 1,000 attendees participated in these free
symposium events.
Research Partners Program
Many other events and initiatives characterized NARSAD’s 2006 achievements, as will be detailed in this report.
Among the most promising is the continued success of our Research Partners Program, which allows donors to
support the research of a particular scientist. Currently, the research of 126 investigators is being supported by a wide
range of individual donors and foundations. Some of these donors are especially interested in supporting the research
project of a particular investigator, while others choose to support work at an institution about which they care (often
as an alumnus). Still others wish to accelerate research in a particular field, such as research on autism or obsessivecompulsive disorder or bipolar disorder.
Importantly, the Research Partners Program has become an increasingly popular philanthropic vehicle for charitable
foundations that wish to support NARSAD and share a commitment to our goals. Many of these foundations recognize
that NARSAD’s grant-making structure allows them greater ability to select the research and researchers most relevant
to them and to obtain a better range of grant applicants than their own structure can provide. Typically, we learn that
foundations have but one or two scientific advisors, and lack the breadth of expertise and grant-selection capability
held by our Scientific Council. We are deeply appreciative of this broadening institutional recognition of the potential
to support the best research through NARSAD’s grants program.

Information Resources
NARSAD’s publications and other informational resources continue to serve as a vital link between our supporters
and our scientists and provide information for the broader public.
In the pages of NARSAD’s quarterly Research Newsletter, we were privileged to report on the extraordinary careers
of the exceptional scientists who received NARSAD research prizes in 2006. We added an important dimension
to the Newsletter’s reporting on the Young Investigator symposium by including commentaries from senior members
of our Scientific Council, all distinguished teachers. Throughout the year, biographical profiles were featured on highly
accomplished leaders in research who are members of the Scientific Council.
The Schizophrenia Research Forum (SRF), which is co-sponsored by NARSAD, marked its second year of service
in providing a virtual meeting place for the exchange of scientific information by investigators involved in psychiatric
and cognitive research. The SRF website enjoyed a record number of visitors. Similarly, the newly revised NARSAD
website offered a constant stream of information on new research findings by NARSAD-supported scientists, including
reports on presentations at our research symposia held in cities around the country.
A New President
The year 2006 marked an important transition for NARSAD as the Board of Directors initiated a search for a full-time
president and chief executive officer. Having held responsibility as president and C.E.O. since 1989, I look forward
to seeing NARSAD achieve another level of growth under full-time professional leadership, augmenting our already
excellent staff and programs.
The conclusion of the presidential search was announced on May 21, 2007, with
the appointment of Geoffrey Birkett. Mr. Birkett previously served as a senior vice
president of global marketing for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, where his portfolio
included central nervous system medications. The majority of his career has been in
the pharmaceutical industry, with particular emphasis on psychiatric drugs. He has
held positions at Eli Lilly and Company, Lundbeck Pharmaceuticals, Glaxo Group
Limited, and, for the last 15 years, AstraZeneca. We look forward to NARSAD
receiving the benefit of his considerable experience in key areas of related
pharmaceutical research, information technology and marketing.
4
As we move to the next stage of achieving NARSAD’s ambitious goals, I look
forward to continuing to serve the organization as a member of the board of
Geoff Birkettt
directors. In closing, I thank our wonderful, enthusiastic supporters, our remarkable
Scientific Council, our distinguished board of directors, and, particularly, our staff, for the opportunity to provide leadership over 18 years. I look forward to continuing cooperation with all.
Above all, I have deep thanks for the many who shared in NARSAD’s efforts to enhance and accelerate the mission
to build knowledge which will bring “better treatments and cures for severe mental illnesses.” With striking scientific
progress in 2006, and with our great cadre of scientist-grantees and new NARSAD leadership, we will meet the goals
of our mission.
In closing, we and our grantees are deeply grateful to those whose gifts to NARSAD of funds, time and energy
have made possible the achievements that are reported in the balance of this document. Your dedication, your
belief in progress and your desire to enhance the lives of those who suffer are the inspiration for the effort
of this entire organization.
Sincerely,
Constance E. Lieber
President, NARSAD
Message from the President of NARSAD’s
Scientific Council
Given all the current demands on our government’s revenues, it’s no surprise that the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
our federal agency for medical research, once again is faced with extraordinary budget constraints.
Many researchers of psychiatric disorders are experiencing considerable difficulty in finding support for their research.
In this period of tight budgets, NARSAD has an even more vigorous role to play as a private source of research grants.
My hope is that we will see some turnaround in NIH funding as a result of impending political changes in Washington.
But regardless of what happens in the corridors of government, NARSAD is poised to grow and increase the pool
of private funding for critically needed research on mental illnesses.
Among the important developments at NARSAD is the naming of a superb new president, Geoff Birkett, who is an
experienced and sophisticated leader. Additionally, Connie Lieber, who led NARSAD as president during the past 18
seminal years of this organization’s development, along with the other members of our board of directors, will continue
to serve and support the organization in a vital capacity. This will enable NARSAD to sustain its high standards for
grant-making and organizational operations and reach for even greater heights. The board is currently studying ways
in which to amplify NARSAD’s impact on the pace and scope of research on psychiatric illnesses. The Scientific Council
stands ready to help in every way possible.
All this good news comes at a time when the potential for research breakthroughs, given recent advancements in science,
has never been more promising. The moment holds great implications for the field of neuroscience and for the fight against
mental illness.
On behalf of the Scientific Council, we look forward to further expanding and enhancing NARSAD’s contributions
to psychiatric research by capitalizing on the strengths of our Scientific Council, board of directors and new leadership.
Thank you to everyone who is helping. This is one great family.
Sincerely,
Herbert Pardes, M.D.
President and CEO, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital

Celebrating Twenty Years of
Advancing Research
NARSAD’s research program was developed and
continues to be led by its illustrious Scientific Council,
now comprising 94-members. In 2006, NARSAD
marked the Council’s 20th anniversary at its annual
New York Gala.
6
The Council has been instrumental in guiding
NARSAD’s growth from a program of funding 10
investigators in 1987 to 718 investigators in 2006.
It identifies new frontiers for research, sets grantmaking policy, and rigorously reviews more than
1,000 grant proposals annually, recommending
hundreds for funding. Its members also select
the recipients of NARSAD’s career achievement
prizes. Over the years, these recipients have included
three scientists who subsequently were honored
with Nobel Prizes.
Scientific Council members who attended the
October 27th gala at the Pierre Hotel were presented
with commemorative medallions by NARSAD President
Connie Lieber in recognition of their service.
In honoring the body’s long record of achievement,
the Council’s founding president, Herbert Pardes, M.D.,
looked back over its first two decades of work:
“On July 24, 1986, the first full meeting of NARSAD’s
Board of Directors and Scientific Council took place.
I was privileged to be among the organizers and to
become the Council’s president. Floyd Bloom, M.D.,
of the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, was
selected to serve as vice president, and Julius Axelrod,
Ph.D., of the National Institute of Mental Health,
and Eli Robins, M.D., of Washington University,
as honorary chairs. By the end of 1987, there were
24 members of the new Council providing expert
guidance to NARSAD in the key areas of
psychiatric research.
“In my first annual report on the work of the Scientific
Council, I stated — and I now reiterate: NARSAD
stands as a symbol that the nation and its citizens
are dedicated to the proposition that psychiatric
illnesses can be ameliorated, and will, in the end,
be extinguished.
“Now numbering 94 members, the Council is widely
recognized as a premier group of research and
research administrative leaders covering a broad
spectrum of brain and behavioral science. Each
member volunteers his or her services in essential
ways. The Council’s members review each year’s
growing number of grant applications and select
the very best research on psychiatric disorders,
wherever it is done, regardless of discipline or location,
focusing only on excellence. The Council also serves
as an advisory group on policy and programs for
NARSAD, and has facilitated important interactions
with other entities concerned with psychiatric research.
“All this has been accomplished as a result of the
dedication, commitment and expertise of my
distinguished Council colleagues, whose work
represents a unique gift to those suffering from severe
mental illnesses. Their contribution also represents
an asset to a society that urgently needs to meet
NARSAD’s original goal of productive scientific
research to find the causes, cures and prevention
of chronic and severe mental illnesses.”
New Scientific Council
Members
The Scientific Council has never rested on its laurels. Each year, it effectively revivifies itself by electing some of
the emerging leaders in neuropsychiatric research to join its ranks. This past year was no exception, with six outstanding individuals joining the Council, bringing its total membership to 94. Like those who elected them to serve, new
council members are rich in talent and varied in backgrounds. And if past is prologue, they, too, will not only play a vital
role in annually identifying the most promising research projects for NARSAD funding, but will also give their time as
commentators and moderators for NARSAD’s public symposia on mental health research, and will serve as mentors
to NARSAD Young Investigators.
Robert W. Buchanan, M.D., is professor of psychiatry and chief at the Maryland
Psychiatric Research Center Outpatient Research Program, University of Maryland
School of Medicine, Baltimore. His research interests include neurobehavioral and
neuroanatomical investigations of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and investigation
of new pharmacological approaches for treating cognitive impairments and treatmentresistant symptoms in schizophrenia. Dr. Buchanan has been involved in multiple aspects
of the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia
(MATRICS) project, including identification of potential pharmacological targets for
treating cognitive impairments. He received a NARSAD Young Investigator Award
in 1988.
Peter F. Buckley, M.D., is professor and chairman of psychiatry at the Medical College
of Georgia. With a background of studies in brain imaging and neurodevelopment, he
is currently conducting a program of research on the neurobiology and treatment
of schizophrenia. Dr. Buckley has been a professor and vice chair in the department
of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and medical
director at Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare System, the adult state psychiatric services
for Cleveland and Toledo. He chairs the schizophrenia spectrum disorders and late-life
review committee of the National Institute of Mental Health and has contributed
to several expert consensus guidelines. Dr. Buckley received a NARSAD Young
Investigator Award in 1992.
B. J. Casey , Ph.D., is Sackler Professor of Developmental Psychobiology and director
of the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology at Weill Medical College
of Cornell University. She is also a visiting research collaborator in the psychology
department of Princeton University. Dr. Casey’s research focuses on inhibitory
mechanisms of attention, particularly their neurobiological basis, development
and pathology. She studies the normal development of brain circuitry involved in inhibitory
control and behavioral regulation and how disruptions in these brain systems (in the
prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia) can give rise to a number of developmental disorders.
Having published the first fMRI study with children, Dr. Casey continues to be a pioneer
in the study of human brain development and behavior using noninvasive neuroimaging
techniques and is moving toward relating these measures to genetics.

New Scientific Council
Members
Richard Keefe, Ph.D., is associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at
Duke University Medical Center. Through his research, Dr. Keefe is trying to understand
cognitive dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia and related disorders, and in people
at high risk for them, and to improve treatment for cognitive deficits. He has been
particularly involved in designing methods to assess cognitive change and has led
the development of batteries of tests for several multi-site studies of responses to
cognitive dysfunction treatment, including the National Institute of Mental Health’s
CATIE (Clinical Antipsychotic Trials in Intervention Effectiveness) Project, and BACS
(Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia). Dr. Keefe received NARSAD Young
Investigator Awards in 1991 and 1995.

Godfrey D. Pearlson M.D., is professor of psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine
and director of the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center at Hartford Hospital’s Institute
of Living. The mission of the neuroscientists at the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center,
recently founded by Dr. Pearlson, is to study severe psychiatric illnesses and rapidly
translate their findings into new, effective treatments. In the center’s four component
laboratories, he and colleagues are applying brain imaging techniques to a broad variety
of neuropsychiatric conditions, from childhood to old age, including dementias, mood
disorders, substance abuse problems, autism, schizophrenia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and psychopathy. Dr. Pearlson received
a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Award in 2000.
Pasko Rakic, M.D., Ph.D., is the Duberg Professor of Neurobiology and Neurology,
chairman of the department of neurobiology and director of the Kavli Institute for
Neuroscience at Yale University. His research focus is the development of the cerebral
cortex and the regulation of neuron production and cell interactions during their migration
to the cerebral cortex. He and his colleagues have identified and characterized a number
of genes and molecules involved in regulating neuron proliferation, migration, differentiation, and death, and are studying molecular factors regulating the rate of neuronal
movement and the “stop signal” for determining their final position. His studies in various
mammalian species have led to new hypotheses of cortical development and evolution.
2006 N A R S A D
Research Highlights
Research findings by NARSAD grantees were essential to scientific advances in psychiatry and neuroscience in 2006.
Throughout the year, their articles appeared in publications of the leading journals in the field. Highly rated articles
(cited as “Impact Factors”) appeared in journals ranging from Behavioral Genetics, Bioinformatics, Cell, and the
American Journal of Psychiatry to multidisciplinary journals such as Science and Nature, as well as those specializing
in the neurosciences such as Neuron and Psychoneuroendocrinology. Articles were published, too, in such key journals
as the Archives of General Psychiatry and Biological Psychiatry. Widely read medical publications led by the New
England Journal of Medicine highlighted important advances reported by NARSAD researchers.
This annual summary offers introductory highlights of important research published by a selection of NARSAD
grantees. Our aim is to suggest the extraordinary breadth of NARSAD research, ranging from the epidemiology
of depression, to gene variance in autism, to risk genes for schizophrenia.
Selected Achievements of NARSAD Investigators, 2006
Antipsychotic Drugs
Violent Behavior
A landmark study aimed at enhancing treatment with
antipsychotic drugs was published in the American
Journal of Psychiatry by a research group under the
leadership of Jeffrey A. Lieberman, M.D., NARSAD
Distinguished Investigator, Scientific Council member
and winner of the 2006 Lieber Prize for Schizophrenia
Research. This study examined the comparative
effectiveness of so called first-generation antipsychotic
drugs versus that of the newer “atypical” antipsychotics
that have been increasingly prescribed and widely
used over the last two decades. The study’s initial
reports had indicated that there were no differences
in effectiveness between the first- and secondgeneration antipsychotics.
Understanding of the basic causes of violence and
aggression has long been a goal for scientists. A new
and promising approach to the problem was disclosed
in a study by Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg, M.D., of the
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), who
received a NARSAD Young Investigator Award in 2000.
He and his colleagues reported that a computer-based
neuroanatomical method (which measures differences
in concentrations of brain tissue) and functional
magnetic resonance imaging allowed them to study
the role of a key enzyme associated with violent
behavior. This enzyme, monoamine oxidase A, when
accompanied by a gene variation which lowered its
expression, resulted in significant structural and functional brain differences, impacting the ability to regulate
emotional and aggressive responses.
Significant differences did appear, however, in a slightly
lower rate of discontinuation by patients on major
atypical medications compared to other drugs,
although their use was associated with unwanted
weight gain and metabolic side effects. The study found
that patients with chronic schizophrenia were more
likely to continue treatment if they were taking the
drugs olanzapine (Zyprexa) and risperidone (Risperdal)
rather than other atypical antipsychotic drugs. It further
confirmed that for patients who did not respond to
previous atypical antipsychotic medications, the drug
clozapine (Clozaril) offered a better response than did
second-generation atypical antipsychotics with which
it was compared.
Bipolar Genetics
A new gene linked to bipolar disorder was found in a
collaboration by Hugh Gurling, M.D., a NARSAD
Distinguished Investigator at University College in
London, and his colleague, Professor Ole Mors, at the
University of Aarhus in Denmark. The gene, known
as slynar, is found on chromosome 12 and appears
to be present in around 10 percent of people with
bipolar disorder. The finding could lead to new
treatments for depression and bipolar disorder,
including preventive strategies.

2006 N A R S A D
Research Highlights
Maternal Depression
A central issue in the study of depression in children
has been the impact of parents who may also be
depressed. Myrna Weissman, Ph.D., of Columbia
University, a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator
and Scientific Council member, headed a study on
this issue reported in the Journal of the American
Medical Association. Dr. Weissman observed that
when mothers were successfully treated with medication for depression over a three-month period,
their children showed a reduction in diagnoses of
depression and other psychiatric disorders. The study
also noted that children of mothers who remained
depressed were at increased risk for depressive
and other symptoms.
Cognition in Schizophrenia
10
One of the great challenges in developing an understanding of psychiatric disorders is the creation of
animal models that enable studies of brain impacts
and development. The engineering of a mouse model
to mimic the cognitive aspects of schizophrenia was
accomplished by researchers at Columbia University
under the leadership of Nobel laureate Eric R. Kandel,
M.D., a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator and
Scientific Council member. He and NARSAD investigators Christoph Kellendonk, Ph.D., and Holly Moore,
Ph.D., and associates, developed a mouse strain
characterized by abnormal activity of the dopamine
system in a specific part of the brain causing cognitive
and behavioral impairments mimicking those in people
with schizophrenia. The research team’s findings
suggest that cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia may
arise from subtle genetic differences in the dopamine
receptor gene that increase receptor activity in people
with schizophrenia.
Depression Treatment Protein Target
A protein that seems to play a role in the lifting of
depression has been discovered. The research work,
in mice, was led by Nobel laureate Paul Greengard,
Ph.D., of Rockefeller University, a NARSAD
Distinguished Investigator, Scientific Council member
and winner of the Lieber Prize for Schizophrenia
Research in 1996. Dr. Greengard’s discovery of a
protein called p11 may provide a more specific target
for new treatments for depression, anxiety disorders
and other psychiatric conditions thought to involve
malfunctions in the serotonin system.
Antidepressants and Children
The widely discussed issue of possible negative
consequences of antidepressant treatment for
children was reported in the Archives of General
Psychiatry by Mark Olfson, M.D., of Columbia
University, a NARSAD investigator. His case-control
study focused on the relationship of antidepressant
treatment to suicide attempts and deaths in adults
and children. It concluded that although treatment
with antidepressant medication was not associated
with either suicide attempts or death in adults, it was
significantly associated with both in children
and adolescents.
Gene Variant for Autism
A gene variant that more than doubles the risk
of autism was found in a study by Phillip Ebert, Ph.D.,
and Pat Levitt, Ph.D., NARSAD investigators and
colleagues at the Vanderbilt University Kennedy
Center for Research on Human Development. Their
finding provides new insights into the genetic basis
of this complex disorder. They report that a genetic
variant associated with the MET gene is common
in children with autism and appears more frequently
in families that have more than one affected child.
Significantly, the study concluded that people with
two copies of the variant were 2.27 times as likely
to have autism as members of the general population,
while individuals with only one copy were at 1.67 times
normal risk. These findings significantly further the
investigation of the interaction between genes and
environmental factors in autism.
Cellular Targets for Depression
Amygdala Shrinkage in Autism
New research has identified which among several
different kinds of cells in the brain is the chief target
of the widely prescribed antidepressant Prozac. The
discovery was made by Grigori Enikolopov, Ph.D.,
of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, a NARSAD
Independent Investigator. It may enable a new
generation of more specific treatments for depression,
with fewer side effects. It also lays the foundation for
studies of how, when, and where neurons are
generated from stem cells in the brain.
Researchers have found that the amygdala, the brain’s
fear center, likely becomes abnormally small in the
most severely socially impaired males with autism
spectrum disorders. They have also linked such
shrinkage to impaired verbal social behavior in early
childhood. These findings were reported in studies led
by Richard J. Davidson, Ph.D., of the University of
Wisconsin, a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator,
and colleagues, including Kim Dalton, Ph.D., a 2005
NARSAD Young Investigator. They provide the first
evidence linking objective measures of social impairment and amygdala structure and related brain function
in autism.
Neuregulin-1 Gene Expression
NARSAD researchers have discovered how certain
genes work at the molecular level to increase the risk
of schizophrenia. Their findings are among the first
to suggest a biological basis for two of the most
compelling schizophrenia risk genes. Previous genetic
studies have identified two genes as schizophrenia risk
genes — Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC-1) and
Neuregulin-1 — but the way in which they work has
been unclear. DISC-1 is important for brain development, particularly the development of the limbic
system, the brain’s memory and emotion “hub.”
Neuregulin-1 controls the wiring of the brain during
development, communication between nerve cells,
and adaptation to new situations. A study led by
NARSAD investigators Barbara Lipska, Ph.D.,
Amanda J. Law, Ph.D., and Daniel R. Weinberger, M.D.,
a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator and member
of the Scientific Council, suggests that in patients with
schizophrenia, altered Neuregulin-1 expression likely
disrupts the gene’s signaling, which affects brain
development and plasticity, thus contributing to the
development of the disease.
A Gene Controlling Fear
A gene that controls both innate and learned forms of
fear has been identified in a collaborative study by
Nobel laureate Eric Kandel, M.D., of Columbia
University, a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator and
Scientific Council member, and colleagues, including
Gleb R. Shumyatsky, M.D., a NARSAD Young
Investigator, and Vadim Volshakov, M.D., a NARSAD
Independent Investigator at Harvard Medical School.
They identified the gene — known as stathmin or
oncopotein18 — as highly concentrated in the
amygdala, a key region of the brain that deals with
fear and anxiety. The study provides genetic evidence
that amygdala-enriched stathmin is required for the
expression of innate fear and formation of memory
of learned fear. It will provide important information
on how learned and innate fears are experienced and
processed, and may point the way to new therapies.

For Outstanding Achievement in Psychiatric Research
NARSAD’s Annual Prizes
NARSAD awarded psychiatry’s leading prizes for career achievement in research to six distinguished scientists
at the organization’s 19th Annual New York Gala, held October 27th. Those honored were selected by members
of NARSAD’s Scientific Council.
NARSAD initiated its series of annual prizes in 1987 with the introduction of the Lieber Prize for Outstanding
Achievement in Schizophrenia Research. Four other prizes have been established over the years, and to date,
71 scientists have been honored, two of whom have subsequently received the Nobel Prize.
The six awardees for 2006 are among the world’s most innovative investigators of schizophrenia, mood disorders,
childhood and adolescent psychiatric disorders and cognitive neuroscience. The prizes, widely considered among
the most prestigious in the field of neuropsychiatric research and totaling $230,000, recognize exceptional contributions
to the understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
The prizes and their 2006 recipients are:

Distinguished Investigator Award in 1999 and is a
member of the Institute of Medicine of the National
Academy of Sciences.
The Falcone Prize
for Outstanding Achievement in
Affective Disorders Research
Lori L. Altshuler, M.D.
Dr. Lori Altshuler has been awarded the Falcone Prize for her outstanding achievements in improving the understanding and treatment of patients with the severe mood disorders of recurrent unipolar depression and bipolar illness. She
has uncovered brain mechanisms involved in these disorders, using static and functional brain imagery techniques that
revealed abnormalities in temporal lobe structure, particularly the amygdala. Her work in therapeutics has been equally
stellar, describing a range of interventions for depression, mania and their co-morbidities. She found that even mild
depression has striking effects on quality of life, and she has studied and found medications that assist in achieving full
remission by treating the symptoms of anxiety, obesity, fatigue, and poor concentration. She also has conducted vital
studies of the effects of illness and medications on women's endocrine and reproductive function, most recently finding
that pregnancy does not protect women who stop antidepressant medication from recurrent depression.

The Ruane Prize for Outstanding Achievement in
Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Research
David A. Brent, M.D.
David Shaffer, M.D.
Dr. Shaffer and Dr. Brent have devoted their professional lives to the study
of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of childhood depression
and suicide. Both have explored the issue from several aspects, including
epidemiology, drug and non-drug treatment, support for advocacy groups,
and public education. The work of these leaders in child psychiatry has
had great influence on today’s educators and practitioners.

David A. Brent, M.D., holds an endowed chair in
suicide studies at the Western Psychiatric Institute
and Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh School
of Medicine, where he is also academic chief of
the division of child and adolescent psychiatry,
director of services for teens at risk and professor
of child psychiatry.
A graduate of Jefferson Medical College, in
Philadelphia, Dr. Brent did his internship in pediatrics
and a fellowship in psychosocial pediatrics at the
University of Colorado Medical Center. Following
a residency in child and general psychiatry at the
Western Psychiatric Institute, he joined the institute’s
faculty, where he has remained during the quartercentury since. He also holds University of Pittsburgh
appointments as professor of pediatrics at the
Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and professor
of epidemiology at the Graduate School of Public
Health, from which he earlier earned a master
of science degree in psychiatric epidemiology.
The focus of Dr. Brent’s research efforts has been
to understand adolescent depression and suicidal
behavior and to translate research findings into
prevention and treatment. His research group has
conducted psychological autopsy studies that have
helped to establish the role of mood disorder, substance abuse, impulsive aggression, parental suicidal
behavior and access to guns as risk factors for adolescent suicide. A series of family studies growing from
this work has shown that suicidal behavior aggregates
in families, and that the familial transmission of earlyonset suicidal behavior appears to be mediated by
the transmission of impulsive aggression. His research
group also has helped demonstrate the efficacy of
cognitive behavior therapy for adolescent depression.
Dr. Brent received a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Award in 2001 for a study of medication-resistant
depression in adolescents, and is a recipient of many
honors, including membership in the Institute of
Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He
has published nearly 150 papers in professional
journals and contributed numerous book chapters.
David Shaffer, M.D., is the Philips Professor of Child
Psychiatry and professor of psychiatry and pediatrics
at Columbia University College of Physicians and
Surgeons; attending psychiatrist at Columbia
University Medical Center NewYork-Presbyterian
Hospital, where he is also director of pediatric
psychiatry at Babies Hospital; and director of
the division of child psychiatry at the New York
State Psychiatric Institute.
Originally from South Africa, Dr. Shaffer received
a degree in psychological medicine from the University
of London. He trained in pediatrics at the Hospital
for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, and trained
in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital. It was from
there, in the 1960s, that he conducted the first epidemiological study of child and early adolescent
suicide using the psychological autopsy method.
Unexpected at the time, the findings revealed a short
delay between experiencing a stressor and the act
of suicide, the frequency of aggressive behavior,
and the suggestion that imitation played a role in youth
suicide. His later work confirmed that most teen
suicides occur in the context of a psychiatric illness.
His research also highlighted the significance of
alcohol and substance abuse and a prior suicide
attempt as additional risk factors for older male teens,
but not for females, in whom major depression is
especially important.
In a controlled study of suicide-awareness programs,
Dr. Shaffer and his colleagues revealed significant
limitations to a purely educational approach to suicide
prevention. He set out to develop a strategy and
technique for screening teens for the disorders that
predispose them to suicide and created the Columbia
Teen Screen, which is in use nationwide. Dr. Shaffer
has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles
on his work and authored 80 book chapters. He serves
on the editorial board of several professional journals
and is past president of the American Foundation for
Suicide Prevention and of the Society for Research in
Child and Adolescent Psychopathology. He received a
NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Award in 1992.

The Ruane Prize
In Memoriam
It is with deep sorrow that we report the death of Joy M. Ruane on October 11, 2006. Mrs. Ruane joined with her husband, Bill,
in creating and sustaining the Ruane Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Research. We mourned
Bill Ruane’s loss just a year ago as we mourn Joy’s now.
Bill and Joy were a couple with extraordinary philanthropic concerns. Their very strong support for NARSAD through the years
had always been based on a request for anonymity. But their conviction of the importance of the search for treatments and cures,
and of breakthroughs by great scientists in child and adolescent psychiatry, led them to give their names to this award.
NARSAD mourns an extraordinary couple and expresses deep gratitude for their dedication to the lives of others, most especially to
the needs and hopes of children and adolescents.
The Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Prize for
Schizophrenia Research
Lorna W. Role, Ph.D.
Although Dr. Role is not new to science, she is relatively new to schizophrenia research and is an ideal recipient of the
Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Prize. To solve the riddle of schizophrenia, it has been imperative that we recruit top neuroscientists
and apply the most powerful research strategies. Dr. Role was in the prime of her career, working on nicotinic neurotransmitters and on neuregulin isoforms, when she was recruited to the Lieber Center for Schizophrenia Research and
then received a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Award. Since that fortuitous start, she has carried out spectacular
work on the combined effects of candidate genes on the mechanisms that cause schizophrenia and give rise to its
symptoms, and the effects on these of novel therapeutic agents.

Lorna A. Role, Ph.D., is professor of cell biology in the
Center for Neurobiology and Behavior at Columbia
University College of Physicians ‘and Surgeons, where
she has been a member of the faculty for 21 years. Her
scientific trajectory has taken her from a bachelor’s
degree in mathematics to a Ph.D. in physiology, both
earned at Harvard University, to promising research
into the mechanisms of the central nervous system.
Beginning with studies on the physiology and development of neuronal synapses responsive to nicotine,
her research has focused on molecular mechanisms
and neural pathways underlying motivation, memory
and mood.
Over the last decade, in collaboration with Dr. David
Talmage, her group identified a novel class of
neuregulin-1 isoforms (proteins produced by a
candidate gene for schizophrenia), shown to be key
regulators of the formation and maintenance of circuits
in the central nervous system.
A NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Award in 2000
launched Dr. Role’s current investigations of neuregulin
gene signaling in schizophrenia. She has published
nearly 100 articles in professional journals.
Among many other honors, Dr. Role has received a
Sloan Scholars Award, Klingenstein Scholars Award,
and McKnight Scholars and Development Award in
Neuroscience. She has advised and mentored dozens
of doctoral and postdoctoral trainees.
Report of the
Executive Director
Success, they say, breeds success. In keeping with NARSAD’s phenomenal growth
over the past several years, 2006 was yet another year of exceeding expectations.
It is no surprise, therefore, that in 2006, NARSAD was singled out for its organizational
integrity as well as for the societal impact of the scientific research that it funds.
We can all take pride in these accomplishments.
Grant-making is at the heart of NARSAD’s work, and 2006 was by all measures a record-setting year. I am particularly
proud of the 206 Young Investigators whose work we were able to fund. These outstanding men and women are the
hope for the future of mental health research, and I am certain that we will be hearing about their findings in the years
to come, as they build on work begun with NARSAD’s support.
This past October, at our annual New York gala, we honored our Scientific Council, which makes NARSAD’s research
grants programs possible. In celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Council’s founding, it was so very meaningful
to watch as these scientists of high achievement were recognized for their contributions to NARSAD’s development
and growth. Likewise our regional dinners and research symposia in 2006 were extraordinary events both in terms
of fund-raising and making available to the public sound information about some of the latest developments in research.
All these elements came together especially well at our first Boston symposium and dinner, which demonstrated the
power of bringing under one roof researchers, donors and potential donors.
In the last several years, it has increasingly been our goal to raise public awareness about NARSAD’s vital work. In
2006, we were fortunate to be assisted by celebrity spokespersons. At our annual Palm Beach gala, Anderson Cooper
of CNN spoke movingly about his brother who suffered and died from severe mental illness. In just a few short minutes,
Anderson was able to express the feelings and aspirations of each person in the room. And, at our inaugural gala
in Los Angeles, former first lady Rosalynn Carter helped provide a historical perspective on our quest for better
treatments and cures. In doing so, she conveyed what our organization’s work over two decades has been all about.
While our regional symposia have become a valuable tool for informing the public, a far greater number of people
now have the opportunity to learn about mental illness and the progress being made in research from our website,
www.narsad.org, which was re-launched in 2006 after a major redesign. We were also able to reach many more people
in 2006 with the debut of the award-winning television series “Healthy Minds,” produced by PBS station WLIW21 in
New York with assistance from NARSAD. The program’s 13 episodes can now be viewed in full on our website.
As NARSAD’s public profile has steadily risen, it has earned well-deserved plaudits from trusted public entities
and institutions. In 2006, the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance — having completed a comprehensive
assessment of NARSAD’s governance, fundraising practices, informational materials and how we spend our money —
informed NARSAD that it had met the BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. We are proud of their glowing report
and will add it to those of other charity rating services that have evaluated and commended our work.
As NARSAD celebrates 20 years of grant-making in 2007, the scope of its operations and their cumulative impact
continue to grow. A presidential search has now given us new leadership, and it is with renewed energy and optimism
that we approach the next 20 years of fund-raising, grant-making and public education. We remain committed as ever
to our mission, fully expecting that success will, indeed, continue to breed success.

Honoring NARSAD Young Investigators
The Klerman and Freedman Awards
The Klerman and Freedman Awards annually recognize the high achievements of past NARSAD Young Investigators.
The Klerman Award, for exceptional clinical research, was established in 1994 by Myrna Weissman, Ph.D., of Columbia
University, in memory of her husband, Gerald L. Klerman, M.D. The Freedman Award, which recognizes excellence
in basic research, honors the memory of Daniel X. Freedman, M.D., a pioneer in biological psychiatry. In part through
these awards, the legacies of Gerald Klerman and Daniel Freedman, in their roles as teachers, physicians and administrators, continue to make an indelible impact upon the field of neuropsychiatry and inspire the careers of neuroscientists
of all ages.

Dr. Blumberg
Dr. Hilary Blumberg was selected for her groundbreaking work demonstrating hyperactive amygdala
function and decreased activity of the area of the brain that regulates amygdala function, the ventral
prefrontal cortex (VPFC), as well as the development of these structures and their malfunction in
adolescent bipolar disorder patients. Her work has further demonstrated the effect of mood-stabilizing
medications (divalproex and lithium) in normalizing the function of the amygdala-VPFC circuit, which
raises the possibility that the ability to identify bipolar disorder early in its course may provide
the opportunity to improve prognosis by halting the progression of the disorder.

NARSAD 2006 Mental Health Research
Symposia
In 2006, the symposium series entered its eighteenth year. Its ambitious goal is to bring news of the cutting-edge work
being performed by NARSAD-supported researchers, and developments and trends in their diverse areas of expertise,
to NARSAD’s supporters and members of the general public. Provided free of charge and attended by many hundreds
and sometimes over a thousand people, each of these events testifies to the public’s thirst for authoritative information
about mental illness. The flagship event of the series, held annually in New York City, extends over two full days;
regional symposia are typically half-day events. All events in the series promote scientific literacy and vividly convey
the great excitement generated by rapid advances in neuroscientific research. While the broad scope of the past year’s
events is indicated in the summaries that follow, full accounts of each symposium are provided throughout the year in
NARSAD’s quarterly newsletters, and are available online.
NARSAD’s 18th Annual New York Research Symposium
New York City
October 27-28, 2006
The 18th Annual NARSAD New York Mental Health Research Symposium was held at the Mount Sinai School
of Medicine in New York City on October 27th and 28th. At the symposium, 15 NARSAD Young Investigator
grantees described their research projects and offered comments on the future direction of their studies. As
in past years, presentations were organized by category: Basic Science, Mood Disorders and Schizophrenia.
Three members of NARSAD’s Scientific Council provided expert commentary and contextualization of the
individual presentations:

New York City Symposium Program
Session 1: Basic Science Research
Commentator: Peter W. Kalivas, Ph.D.
Presenters:
Mark Ansorge, Ph.D., of Columbia University, spoke about the role of the neurotransmitter serotonin in modulating
depressive-like behavior.
Selena Bartlett, Ph.D., at the Julio Gallo Clinic and Research Center of the University of California, San Francisco, spoke
about dopamine receptor trafficking and its involvement in schizophrenia.
Jean-Claude Beique, Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins University, discussed anomalies in synaptic structure and how these may play a
role in schizophrenia.
Stephanie L. Borgland, Ph.D., at the Ernest and Julio Gallo Clinic and Research Center of the University of California, San

Research Partners Program
The NARSAD Research Partners Program unites donors and scientists, who give to each other the benefit of their
separate and intense motivation to find better treatments and cures for brain disorders. In this program, donors select
a recipient of a NARSAD grant and, in turn, have the grant named in their honor. The donors’ involvement continues
beyond this initial stage, as they receive research progress reports from the recipients of their grants, and receive
honorary mention in all published work resulting from the research they helped to fund.
NARSAD is fortunate to have donors with intense interest in funding research in specific areas within its overall
research strategies, and is deeply grateful to all Research Partners for their critical support of dedicated scientists
and their vital projects.

Accelerating Discovery
2006 Grant Programs
NARSAD’s annual grant-making process is characterized by painstaking scientific review and dedicated
administrative follow-through. The objective is to make
certain that the most promising psychiatric research is
supported. Each year, NARSAD invites scientists from
all over the world, at all career stages, to submit grant
applications for review.
34
Members of NARSAD’s Scientific Council donate time
and talent to a careful and thorough review of each
of the 1,000-plus grant proposals received each year.
The Council, in turn, recommends the most meritorious
applications to the Board of Directors, which has the
responsibility for approving them. The return on
NARSAD’s cumulative investment — which in 2006
neared the $200-million mark — has been enormous.
NARSAD support has allowed scientists to publish
important findings in the most prestigious medical and
scientific journals, where their results are shared with
other researchers, clinicians and the public. NARSAD
support also allows scientists with new ideas to change
research direction, something that is normally quite
difficult for established researchers to do. Supported
scientists are then able to collect enough preliminary
data to obtain subsequent funding for larger studies
that build on the results of NARSAD-supported work.
2006 NARSAD Grants — An Overview
In 2006, a record number of new grants were made,
totaling approximately $19 million. Brief summaries
of the three major grant programs follows:
“an exceptional group of scientists…who have become
extraordinarily prestigious in the fields related to
understanding and treating mental illness.” Dr. Barchas
points out that the NARSAD Distinguished Investigator
Award is more difficult to obtain than a grant from the
National Institutes of Health. Applicants in 2006 not
surprisingly represented all areas of first-rate research
in mental illness, from genetics, imaging, neurobiology
and psychology, to applied and translational research.
Dr. Barchas summarized the grant-making process
for 2006:
“As much as possible, the final selection of awardees
reflects a balance among areas of research and scholars of diverse orientations. A striking aspect of this
year’s competition is the degree to which genetics has
come to involve multiple areas of investigation, from
cell biology to behavior. Also remarkable is the excellence of the proposals not only from researchers in
such traditional fields as psychiatry and psychology,
but also from highly accomplished investigators in
other fields who now want to apply their knowledge
and skills toward the enormous problems of severe
mental illness.
“In an era of tight constraints in the federal government’s funding of new research at the seed-funding
stage, NARSAD’s Distinguished Investigator awards
are more critical than ever for the excellence and vitality
of research on mental illness.”
46 Independent Investigator Awards
20 Distinguished Investigator Awards
The Distinguished Investigator program, launched
in 1988, is highly selective, seeking to fund urgent
research by experienced and highly accomplished
scientists from leading institutions. The program offers
one-year grants of up to $100,000, and fills an increasingly important niche in mental-health grantgiving.
Jack D. Barchas, M.D., chair of the department of
psychiatry at Weill Medical College of Cornell
University and long-time Scientific Council member,
headed the committee that selected the 2006
Distinguished Investigators. In his words, they are
NARSAD’s Independent Investigator Award program
provides support for scientists during the critical
period between the initiation of their research careers
and the securing of sustained funding. The award
is designed for scientists at the associate professor
level or equivalent who are clearly independent and
have won national competitive support as principal
investigators. The 2006 Independent Investigators
will receive up to $100,000 over two years in support
of their research programs, which encompass clinical
and basic research of major brain and behavior
disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism,
and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The grantees were selected by a committee headed by
Robert M. Post, M.D., of NARSAD’s Scientific Council.
The far-ranging studies by the 2006 Independent
Investigators will look at such important and compelling
subjects as the role of stress in the development of
mental illness; the effectiveness and action of drugs
for various disorders; changes in brain structure of
people with different types of depression; genetic
susceptibility for depression, bipolar disorder and
schizophrenia; biomarkers for mood disorders; suicidal
tendencies in people with bipolar disorder; and
possible drug treatments for autism.
206 Young Investigator Awards
A record number of Young Investigators were chosen
in 2006 from an applicant pool that numbered over 800.
Each grant recipient will receive $30,000 a year, for one
or two years, in support of research being conducted
at more than 80 universities and research centers in
the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and Israel.
The selection committee was chaired by Dr. Herbert Y.
Meltzer, Bixler/May/Johnson Professor of Psychiatry
and professor of pharmacology at Vanderbilt University
Medical Center and a longtime Scientific Council member. “While our mission is still mainly focused on schizophrenia and depression, it has broadened to encompass outstanding research across the spectrum of
brain and behavior disorders, and these are reflected
in the new grants,” Dr. Meltzer said.
These disorders include autism, Alzheimer’s disease,
anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder,
addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tourette
syndrome and eating disorders. Dr. Meltzer also
reported a welcome increase in the number and quality
of clinical studies. In addition, he said, “NARSAD
makes a point of supporting areas often neglected
by other funders, such as psychosocial research.”
Young Investigators reflect current research trends
made possible by innovative technological and
computational advances, particularly in brain imaging
and genetics. These, in turn, are fueling a rapid upsurge
in what is called translational research, through which
basic discoveries are turned into new or improved
therapies. Among powerful new technologies,
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides
a noninvasive view of blood-flow patterns indicating
brain areas in action; and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) makes it possible to measure chemical
activity in the brain.
Many of the Young Investigators will study the cells,
proteins, and pathways involved in neural development
and function and the physiological bases for the
aberrant behaviors of psychiatric disorders. Some
studies are aimed at better, faster-acting drugs; others
are developing and testing nonpharmacological interventions like cognitive therapy and brain stimulation.
Studies are underway to help patients cope better with
their illnesses and to comply better with treatment
regimens. In addition to isolating and testing a range
of new molecular targets for drugs, 2006 Young
Investigators are also seeking to explain how existing
drugs work.

Dr. Anton is studying neuregulin-1 (NRG1), one of the
genes whose variants have been strongly linked
with the development of schizophrenia. His research
promises to shed light on how NRG1, with its influence
over the growth, placement, and function of neurons
in the developing brain, could lead to defects in
neural circuitry.

Independent Auditors’ Repor t
To the Board of Directors of
The National Alliance for Research
on Schizophrenia and Depression, Inc.
and NARSAD Research Institute, Inc.
Great Neck, New York
We have audited the accompanying combined statement of financial position of The National Alliance for Research on
Schizophrenia and Depression, Inc. and NARSAD Research Institute, Inc. (collectively “NARSAD”) as of December 31,
2006, and the related combined statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of investment
partnerships and investment companies which represent approximately 24% of NARSAD’s total net assets as of
December 31, 2006 and approximately 17% of NARSAD’s total revenue for the year then ended. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for the investments in these investment partnerships and invested companies, is based solely on the reports
of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined
financial position of The National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression, Inc. and NARSAD Research
Institute, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Information for the year ended December 31, 2005 is presented for comparative purposes only and was extracted
from the combined financial statements of National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression, Inc. and
NARSAD Research Institute, Inc. for that year on which we expressed an unqualified opinion, dated February 10, 2006.
February 9, 2007
NARSAD Note: As discussed in Note 2 (i) of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements,
extraordinary contributions of $7 million were received in 2005 when the United States government
offered unique tax benefits to spur charitable giving.

Combined Statement of Activities
(with comparative totals for 2005)
2006 Notes to Combined Financial Statements
1.
Nature of the Organization
The National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression,
Inc. (“NARSAD”) is a corporation organized in 1981 under the
Commonwealth of Kentucky Not-For-Profit Corporation Act. NARSAD
raises and provides funding for scientific research into the causes,
treatments, prevention and cures of severe mental illnesses, primarily
schizophrenia and depression.
In September 1997, NARSAD Research Institute, Inc. (the “Institute”)
was organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the New York Not-for-Profit
Corporation Law and, therefore, has made no provisions for income
taxes in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, the
Institute has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to
be a “private foundation” within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code. All contributions received by the Institute
are available to NARSAD for grant distribution. The Institute, an organization affiliated with NARSAD, did not have any activity until 1998.
As NARSAD demonstrates both control over and economic interest
in the Institute, the accounts of NARSAD and the Institute (collectively
“NARSAD”) have been consolidated for presentation in these
financial statements.
2.
72
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
(e) Investments at Market or Fair Value
Investments consist of U.S. government debt securities, REIT
Preferred Securities, equities and partnerships.
Investments in equity securities with readily determinable market
values and investments in debt securities are valued at their fair
values in the statement of financial position, based on the last
reported sales price on the largest recognized exchange on which
they are traded. Income from investments, including unrealized
gains and losses, dividends and interest are reported in the statement of activities as change in unrestricted net assets.
Investments in partnership interest, without readily determinable
market values, are recorded at their fair value, as determined by
the general partner.
Donated investments are recorded at estimated fair market value
on the date of donation. Securities transactions and related
income and expenses are recorded on a trade date basis.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Combination
The accompanying combined financial statements include
NARSAD and the Institute, which are related through common
board membership, financial control and identical management.
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in combination.
(b) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of NARSAD have been prepared on the
accrual basis. In the statement of financial position, assets and
liabilities are presented in order of liquidity or conversion to cash
and their maturity resulting in the use of cash, respectively.
(c) Financial Statement Presentation
The classification of a not-for-profit organization’s net assets and
its support, revenue and expenses is based on the existence or
absence of donor-imposed restrictions. It requires that the
amounts for each of three classes of net assets, permanently
restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted, be displayed
in a statement of financial position and that the amounts of change
in each of those classes of net assets be displayed in a statement
of activities.
(f) Other Than Temporary Impairment of Investments
At December 31, 2006 NARSAD deemed that all securities which
were in an unrealized loss position were temporarily impaired.
Positive evidence considered in reaching NARSAD’s conclusion
that the investments were not other than temporarily impaired
consisted of:
a. There were no specific events which caused concern;
b. NARSAD’s ability and intent to retain the investments for a
sufficient amount of time to allow an anticipated recovery in
value; and
c. NARSAD determined that the changes in market value were
considered normal in relation to the overall fluctuations in
interest rates.
(g) Depreciation and Amortization
The cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment is depreciated over
the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line
method. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Furniture and equipment
Proprietary information systems
Leasehold improvements
5 years
5 years
Lesser of 3 years
or term of lease
These classes are defined as follows:
(i)
Permanently Restricted — Net assets resulting from contributions and other inflows of assets whose use by NARSAD
is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire
by passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed
by actions of NARSAD.
(ii) Temporarily Restricted — Net assets resulting from contributions and other inflows of assets whose use by NARSAD is
limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by
passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions
of NARSAD pursuant to those stipulations. When such
stipulations end or are fulfilled, such temporarily restricted
net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and
reported in the statement of activities.
(iii) Unrestricted — Board Designated Endowment — Net
assets not restricted by donor-imposed stipulations but
internally restricted by NARSAD for a specific purpose.
(iv) Unrestricted — The part of net assets that is neither permanently nor temporarily restricted by donor-imposed (or internally imposed) stipulations.
It is NARSAD’s policy to capitalize all fixed asset purchases greater
than $1,000.
(h) Income Taxes
NARSAD was incorporated in the State of Kentucky and is exempt
from Federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code and therefore has made no provision
for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
NARSAD has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service
not to be a “private foundation” within the meaning of Section
509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. There was no unrelated
business income for 2006.
(i) Contributions and Promises to Give
Contributions and promises to give are recorded as revenue when
either unsolicited cash is received or when donors make a promise
to give. Contributions and promises to give are classified as either
unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted
support. In 2005, three significant donors made extraordinary
one-time increased contributions of $7,000,000.
2006 Notes to Combined Financial Statements
(j) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As of December 31, 2006, NARSAD has recorded a due from
broker in the amount of $485,393 for trades that were unsettled
at year end.
4.
Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected
within one year are recorded at their net realizable value. Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected in future years
are recorded at present value of estimated future cash flows.
Conditional promises to give are not included as support until such
time as the conditions are substantially met.
(k) Functional Allocation of Expenses
The cost of providing the various programs and other activities
have been summarized on an individual basis in the statement of
activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated around
the programs and supporting services benefited.
Included in pledges receivable are the following unconditional
promises to give:
(l) Comparative Financial Information
The financial statements include certain prior year summarized
comparative information. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information
should be read in conjunction with the prior year financial statements from which the summarized information was derived. With
respect to the statement of activities, the prior year information is
not presented by net asset class. With respect to the statement of
functional expenses, the prior year functional expenses are presented in total but not by functional classification.

Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional
disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. SFAS No.
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2006, NARSAD does not
believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts
reported in the financial statements. However, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the
measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the
measurements reported in the statement of income for a fiscal
period.

One partnership investment is covered by a contribution agreement whereby a contributor personally guarantees that
NARSAD’s return will be equal to the invested amount plus interest thereon, compounded at an annual rate of six percent. As of
December 31, 2006, there was no amount recorded as a receivable under such agreement.

Assets Held in Charitable Remainder Trusts
A liability has been recorded for the present value of the future cash
flows expected to be paid to the life tenants over their estimated lives.
In each taxable year of the trust, the trustee shall pay to the donor during their lifetime, a unitrust amount equal to the lesser of (a) the net
income of the trust for the taxable year, or (b) six percent (6%) of the
fair market value of the assets of the trust valued as of the first day of
each taxable year of the trust (the “valuation date”). Thus, as the market value of the respective trusts fluctuates, so do the annuities
payable to the life tenants, less any payments made. As of December
31, 2006, the present value of future payments due to the life tenants
amounted to $1,464,791.
NARSAD’s investments are summarized as follows:

During 1994, two charitable remainder annuity trusts were established
naming NARSAD as both trustee of the assets maintained in trust and
the recipient of all remainder assets after the death of the respective
donors and/or their beneficiaries (the “life tenants”). Each donor put
certain assets in trust from which NARSAD, in its role as trustee,
remits annuity payments to the life tenants, until such a time that the
life tenants are deceased. Upon the death of the life tenants, all
principal and income of the trusts will be distributed to NARSAD.
As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of net assets held for
charitable remainder trusts amounted to $2,620,308.

Charitable Gift Annuities
Under the Charitable Gift Annuity agreement, donors make contributions in exchange for a promise to receive a fixed amount over a specified period of time, usually the life of donor or beneficiary. During the
term of the agreement, NARSAD acts as custodian of these funds,
whereby the asset and the net present value of the related liability are
reflected in the statement of financial position. After the term of the
agreement, the remaining assets belong to NARSAD. At December 31,
2006, the Charitable Gift Annuity investment account had a fair market
value of $1,315,668 and the related liability amounted to $524,307.

Temporarily Restricted Net Assets
Temporarily restricted net assets represent contributions received and
certain income related to the following:
Research
$2,567,277
10. Net Assets Released from Restrictions
Temporarily restricted net assets were released from donor restrictions by incurring expenses satisfying the restricted purpose as
follows:
Research
$18,286.483
Mental Illness Research Award Fund
The Mental Illness Research Award Fund was established in 1987 from
the San Diego Alliance for the Mentally Ill. Investment income earned
annually is restricted by the donor for use in research. The funds may
be invested, at the discretion of the Finance Committee, in fixed
income and equity securities.
Administrative Endowment Fund
The Administrative Endowment Fund was established in 1988 to fund
administrative expenses for support of research in schizophrenia and
depression.
12. Line of Credit Payable
In 2004, NARSAD established a line of credit with a bank of up to
$2,000,000, payable at various interest rate options. At December 31,
2006, $2,000,000 was outstanding on the line of credit. This line of
credit was fully repaid January 8, 2007.
13. Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject NARSAD to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments. NARSAD places its temporary cash investments with high
quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit
exposure to any one institution. At times, such investments may be in
excess of FDIC insurance limits.
14. Volunteer Services
In 2006, NARSAD’s Scientific Council contributed services of
$766,852, which is reflected in the program support in the combined
statement of activities. NARSAD’s Scientific Council consists of a
group of scientists who are leaders in neuroscience and psychiatry.
These volunteers primarily review research grants and projects on
behalf of NARSAD.
Additionally, a substantial number of individuals volunteer significant
amounts of their time to NARSAD’s fundraising and other activities;
the value of these contributed services is excluded since they do not
meet criteria for financial statement recognition.

amount of $1,000,000, is to remain preserved in this fund until a cure
for schizophrenia is found. Investment income is restricted by the
donor for use in research.
Endowed Research Partnership Program
The Endowed Research Partnership Program was established in 2003
to support the Research Partnership Program.
NARSAD currently leases office space in Great Neck, New York. The
lease calls for a base rent, payment of certain operating expenses

to be forwarded to organizations either specified by the donor or at the
discretion of NARSAD’s Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2006,
such endowments amounted to $1,000,000 and are included as permanently restricted net assets in the accompanying statement of financial position.

“NARSAD is unique because it funds only breakthrough, cutting-edge,
innovative research. NARSAD grants enable up-and-coming scientists
to gatherpilot data which can then be parlayed into significantly larger
grants, and allow more senior investigators to branch out into new
and exciting areas…and that’s really extraordinary.”
