Dear Colleague,
This is to tell you about an important multi-disciplinary
organization--the International College of Geriatric Psychoneuropharmacology
(ICGP). This College primarily includes clinical or basic
science researchers with national reputations and interest
in issues around neuropsychiatric disorders in relationship
to aging and the treatment of these conditions. Currently,
no other international organization focuses entirely on the
many disciplines involved in geriatric psychoneuropharmacology
(see enclosed list of reasons). The ICGP is open to scientists
from all countries, from different related disciplines, and
from different work settings (universities, government institutions,
private practice, pharmaceutical industry, etc.).
The mission of the ICGP is to further clinical
care, research, and education in geriatric psychoneuropharmacology
by: a) fostering cross-fertilization of scientific knowledge
among clinical and preclinical scientists from different related
disciplines, b) defining and articulating clinical methodologies
necessary for the proper study and subsequent large-scale
application of interventions to prevent and treat neuropsychiatric
disorders, and c) periodically developing consensus-based
interpretations of available scientific data in order to recommend
scientific and regulatory policies regarding the application
of interventions to improve the health and well-being of the
aging individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders who are
residing in many culturally distinct societies worldwide.
We hope that you will consider applying for membership in
this unique organization. Please feel free to duplicate and
distribute this application material to your colleagues. The
ICGP Credentials Committee will review all the membership
applications.
