“American scientists before the war generally opposed any large-scale federal financing or coordination of research.* Between 1900 and 1940, the primary sources of financing for medical research were private. Private foundations and universities were the principal sponsors and hosts of basic research. The most richly endowed research center, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, was established in New York in 1902 and by 1928 had received from John D. Rockefeller $65 million in endowment funds. In that same period, wealthy donors set up several other independent institutes, but most medical research was conducted by scientists in universities, supported by endowment income, special research funds, and foundation grants.”
