The American Psychiatric Foundation (APF) has named Stephen R Marder, MD, the 2004 recipient of the Alexander Gralnick, MD, Award for Research in Schizophrenia. He will present a lecture titled "Recovery in Schizophrenia" in connection with that award on October 9 at the American Psychiatric Association's 2004 Institute on Psychiatric Services.

Marder is the director of the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center and the Chair of Psychiatry at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System in California.

He was the founder of the High Point Hospital in Rye Brook, N.Y., where he served as director until 1991 and psychiatrist-in-chief until his death in 1993.
