Mary Kay and James D. Farley

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."

"Our family is proud to sponsor recent RAND work in Israel to explore energy alternatives and to aid the Israeli government with long-range planning. We are heartened to see that Israeli officials are now eager for RAND to conduct more research there on a variety of subjects and that the Israeli government and others are now investing in this work. This collaboration is good for RAND, good for Israel, and good for our family."

Tom and Laura Rockwell

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."
