The Next Generation of Biomedical and Behavioral Sciences Researchers: Breaking Through The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, nongovernmental institution to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Marcia McNutt is president. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contributions to engineering. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president. The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president. The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The National Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.

    The Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research

    Office of Communications www.broadinstitute.org T 617-714-7151 [email protected] 7 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142 FACT SHEET: THE STANLEY CENTER FOR PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH BACKGROUND Psychiatric disorders exact an enormous human and economic toll, yet little is known about their underlying biology. Current drugs, which target symptoms but not root causes, are based on compounds discovered serendipitously over a half-century ago. Importantly, inheritance is the largest risk factor we know for many psychiatric illnesses. Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other devastating mental illnesses exhibit some of the highest heritabilities of any common, serious illness in medicine. Because the disorders run in families, scientists can discover clues to their biological causes by investigating the genomes of patients who suffer from them. Advances in genomic technologies and analytic methods have finally made it possible to access this information at the necessary depth and scale to make significant progress in psychiatric research. We now stand at a critical moment when we have achieved our first glimpses of the information needed to ignite much-needed progress in developing new therapeutics for these illnesses. MISSION & HISTORY The Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research, based at the Broad Institute, seeks to reduce the burden of serious mental illness through research. It was launched in 2007 with a $100 million founding gift from the Stanley Medical Research Institute, funded by contributions from Ted Stanley and his late wife, Vada. Its major focus is to clarify the molecular causes of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other severe mental illnesses and to translate that knowledge into new therapies and biomarkers for patients.
