American Brain Trauma Foundation
The mission of the Brain Trauma Foundation is to improve the outcome of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients worldwide. Research has proven that all brain damage does not occur at the moment of impact but rather evolves over the ensuing hours and days after the initial injury, due to brain swelling and inadequate oxygen and blood flow to the injured brain. In most cases, this secondary damage can be controlled by applying scientific, evidence-based diagnostic and treatment Guidelines, which BTF has developed with medical organizations and physicians with expertise in TBI. By educating healthcare professionals to use these Guidelines, we estimate that: thousands of lives could be saved each year in the U.S., millions worldwide, and more would be spared life-long disabilities. ABTF is chaired by Alan Quasha.

Weatherhead Center for International Affairs
The Center for International Affairs was founded in 1958 and was renamed the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs in 1998 in gratitude for the magnificent endowment established by Albert and Celia Weatherhead and the Weatherhead Foundation. The Center was created as a means of confronting the world's condition, a condition diagnosed by Robert Bowie and Henry Kissinger in their gripping The Program of the Center for International Affairs (1958).
That diagnosis and the challenges that shaped the Center's vision and mission then, remain pertinent and continue to inform our work today.
The Center is the largest international research center within Harvard University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The Center is structured to encourage the highest practical level of personal and intellectual interaction among a diverse community of scholars and practitioners. It is distinctive in its recognition that knowledge is a product not only of individual academic research, but also of vigorous, sustained intellectual dialogue among scholars and nonacademic experts. To stimulate this dialogue, the Center sponsors a wide array of seminars, research programs, workshops, and conferences.
