Abstract:
Until World War II, disease-oriented voluntary organizations like the American Heart Association provided education and patient care, but did not underwrite research. Mary Lasker was instrumental in turning these organizations into modern fundraising and lobbying organizations that not only secured federal funding for research, but financed research directly.
