Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TO FIND THE CAUSE(S) OF AND BETTER PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA AND BIPOLAR DISORDER.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SEE PART III, LINE 1.

  • INFECTIOUS AND NEUROVIROLOGY: SMRI IS THE MAJOR RESEARCH INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD FOCUSING ON INFECTIOUS AGENTS AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND BIPOLAR DISORDER. THE CENTER FOR THIS RESEARCH IS THE STANLEY LABORATORY OF DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROVIROLOGY AT JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY IN BALTIMORE. THIS LABORATORY WORKS CLOSELY WITH SMRI-FUNDED RESEARCHERS AT SEVERAL OTHER INSTITUTIONS. THE MAIN TARGETS OF THIS RESEARCH ARE TOXOPLASMA GONDII, THE HERPES FAMILY OF VIRUSES, AND ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES.

    Expenses $3,214,780 · Grants $3,103,505

  • TREATMENT TRIALS: DURING 2024, SMRI SUPPORTED 20 TRIALS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA OR BIPOLAR DISORDER. MOST OF THESE WERE DRUGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO TREAT OTHER CONDITIONS AND FOR WHICH THERE WAS REASON TO BELIEVE THEY MIGHT ALSO BE EFFECTIVE FOR PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS. IN ALMOST ALL CASES, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES ARE UNLIKELY TO SUPPORT SUCH TRIALS BECAUSE THE DRUG IS ALREADY GENERIC OR CANNOT BE PATENTED. SMRI IS SUPPORTING MORE SUCH TREATMENT TRIALS THAN ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.

    Expenses $1,522,170 · Grants $1,461,946

  • NEUROPATHOLOGY: BRAIN TISSUE REPOSITORY AND NEUROPATHOLOGY LABORATORY: STORES AND PROCESSES POSTMORTEM BRAIN TISSUE, LIVER, SPLEEN, SERUM AND CSF FROM PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA, BIPOLAR DISORDER, MAJOR DEPRESSION AND FROM NORMAL CONTROL SUBJECTS. SAMPLES ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO SCIENTISTS AROUND THE WORLD. ALL RESEARCH DATA COLLECTED ON THE SPECIMENS IS RETURNED TO THE SMRI PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE WEB-BASED INTERACTIVE NEUROPATHOLOGY DATABASE FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS.

    Expenses $1,476,568

  • TREATMENT ADVOCACY CENTER

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility SOUNK.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
