Mary Kay and James D. Farley
"I have been interested in end-of-life issues since my training
as a medical social worker in the late 1950s. The medical and
moral issues involved in care for the dying are even more
complex now. My husband and I decided to fund a largescale
analysis, using scientists at RAND and UCLA, to identify
the criteria for best end-of-life treatments. It is our hope that
patients with terminal illnesses will be treated effectively,
efficiently, and empathetically by teams of well-trained
practitioners."

Tom and Laura Rockwell
"Many of us have benefited greatly from RAND's willingness to take a chance on young researchers trying to work on new, not-yet-fashionable ideas. I am funding the Rockwell Prize for the development of innovative policy analysis to try in a small way to pass on to a new generation some of the blessings that RAND's faith in me helped bring into my own life. We hope other alumni will find ways, great or small, to help RAND continue to fund the new research and researchers who will make the company's future as illustrious as the past 60 years have been."
