A Web site recently launched with $700 000 in initial funding from the National Institute of Mental Health will provide schizophrenia researchers with a "virtual community" in which to better communicate with colleagues and potential collaborators and learn about new studies, meetings, and funding opportunities.

The Schizophrenia Research Forum (http://www.schizophreniaforum.org) includes news articles, live chats with experts, weekly updated links to PubMed abstracts of schizophrenia-related articles, and an index of relevant Web sites with information, downloadable software, and other Web-based technologies for scientists. Future plans include a searchable database called SchizophreniaGene.

Registered researchers can provide their profiles, contact information, and research interests. In addition, job listings and links to journals, departments, and institutes involved in schizophrenia research are available.
