Medical Science
One of our primary commitments from 1999 through 2004 was the cure of major diseases. With the advent of the Foundation’s narrowed focus in early 2005, we now limit our current activities to support of public policies that encourage research.
Through our previous funding, we still hope to have a positive impact on the quality of human life throughout the world. More important, through our lobbying on critical medical and science issues ranging from the amount of funding available from the U.S. government to support for the newest research techniques, we hope to encourage and support researchers who are actively engaged in finding cures.
