In fact, one legacy of Fighting Back is its role as the leading edge of thinking at RWJF to balance the grant-making portfolio between efforts to improve medical care and efforts to improve health status through social, behavioral, public health, and community initiatives.

An increasing number of companies have turned to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) for a second opinion on contract awards. And while the bulk of these protests are dismissed for procedural reasons, companies are experiencing a fairly high degree of success.

The proposal from Omar al-Bashir, who has been charged with crimes against humanity for atrocities in Darfur, triggered outrage from Amnesty International.
