What a time it is for psychogeriatric research! This supplementary issue, drawing upon papers submitted for the 1991 IPA Research Awards in Psychogeriatrics, attests to the growth, vigor, and international reach of such studies. Also apparent are the depth and breadth of this field, as reflected in the papers published here— ranging in focus from dementia to depression, from biology to behavior, from cognition to culture. Especially exciting is the growing number of young investigators entering the field and contributing in an important way to the advancement of psychogeriatric knowledge.
