As part of our educational mission the foundation organizes an annual Arthur P. Noyes Schizophrenia Conference.  It is organized in cooperation with the Office of the Secretary of Public Welfare of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and brings nationally and internationally recognized schizophrenia researchers onto the grounds of Norristown State Hospital. A central point of the conference is the presentation of the annual Arthur P. Noyes Award given to an individual who has made a significant contribution toward a better understanding of the etiology and treatment of schizophrenia.
