On
April 1, 2004, Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships concluded an
agreement with the New York-based Rockefeller Brothers Fund to move
responsibility for the Charles E. Culpeper Scholarships in Medical
Science and Biomedical Pilot Initiative grants from the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund to Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships.
On January 1, 2006, these programs moved to Partnership for Cures,
the public charity that continues the mission of Goldman
Philanthropic Partnerships.
What
this means is that all inquiries about these grant programs should
be directed to us at Partnership for Cures.
The appropriate contact at Partnership for Cures is Chief
Operating Officer and Senior Program Officer, Dr.
Bruce E. Bloom.
We
are excited about this next step in the evolution of the
Culpeper Health Research Programs because we believe that they will
benefit from the support and attention they will receive from our
staff and donors at Partnership for Cures.
As an organization dedicated exclusively to advancing
innovative health sciences research, Partnership for Cures is
well-suited to the responsibility of managing and directing both the
Scholars program, whose purpose is to support the career advancement
of promising young physician-scientists, and the Biomedical Pilot
Initiative, which funds innovative, early stage, biomedical
research.
We
are pleased to report that as the Culpeper Health Research Grant
Programs begins a new chapter at Partnership
for Cures,
they will continue to benefit from the thoughtful advice and counsel
received in recent years from Dr. Tadataka Yamada, Chairman of
Research and Development at GlaxoSmithKline, and Dr. Edward W.
Holmes, Dean of the School of Medicine at the University of
California, San Diego.
Dr. Yamada has been a strong and consistent advocate for
funding the work of promising physician-scientists and the
innovative Pilot projects, and has given generously of his time to
ensure the success of these Programs.
Dr. Holmes will continue to chair the Scholars Scientific
Advisory Committee that evaluates applicants’ proposals and
recommends a new group of Culpeper Scholars each year.
