A total of $3.5 million has already been raised toward this end ($1.8 million from the Federal Government and $1.7 million from the Ford and Avalon Foundations). In addition, the Rockefeller Foundation has pledged as part of the Program for Harvard Medicine the sum of $2 million payable over a period of years to provide staffing...
