Ellison told the Journal yesterday that he plans to remain actively involved in the institute.
The $115 million gift will be used to establish five professorships, distributed among different schools of the University, and an institute charged with monitoring global health investments.
Saltonstall Professor of Population Policy Christopher J.L. Murray ’83, a former official at the World Health Organization, will become the director of the new institute, Pineda confirmed in an e-mail last night.
The institute will closely follow guidelines Murray proposed in an article last fall in the British Medical Journal.
It became apparent that negotiations between Ellison and the University—which began almost a year ago—were nearing completion when Murray spoke about the grant and outlined his plans for the institute at a closed School of Public Health faculty meeting this past May.
