In the recent past the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has been interested in developing a research initiative to stimulate human brain research on the biological characteristics of schizophrenic brain tissue. The Schizophrenia Research Branch of the Division of Clinical Research of NIMH sponsored a workshop to study the issues of impediments to research on human brain tissue and develop recommendations for solving some of these problems. This article is the first implementation of one of these recommendations, that is, to provide information to the scientific community that brain tissue donations are important and that appropriate means must be taken in order for a donation to proceed.
