Goal: To increase the number of people that know about, and can benefit from the research portion of the web site. To increase the number of subscriptions to the newsletter and the traffic to the discussion areas so that there is better sharing of information and an increased knowledge about advancements made by researchers around the world in the field of schizophrenia.

The focus here is on increasing the subscriber list for our new schizophrenia research summary called Kraepelin's Compendium - which will be a monthly (or so) email newsletter that includes summaries of all the recent schizophrenia research that has been published in the 35 or so journals that cover schizophrenia research. The goal here is to make schizophrenia researchers around the world more productive (by having better and more complete information) so that a cure for the illness is more quickly found, and discoveries relating to schizophrenia are more quickly propogated.

Estimated Time Commitment: As much as you are willing to commit. At least one hour a week and more if you wish.

We are open to ways to "Get the word out" about the web site, newsletter, and discussion areas - but some ideas are:

1. You'll just look up psych professors and psychologists/psychiatrists that are on the web and send them an email telling them about how to subscribe to the newsletter.

2. You find out about newsgroups and discussion areas (at other web sites) that also discuss or provide information on mental illnesses and let people know about our web site and free newsletter services.

3. We periodically publish press releases announcing special events at the web site (such as authors, speaking, etc.) and send these to journals that cover schizophrenia research.
