The Milken Institute convened patient advocates, researchers, and industry leaders to mark its 250th anniversary by formalizing a transition from token consultation to active partnership in healthcare innovation. The gathering showcased significant milestones such as the $1.6 billion ALS funding mobilization and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's use of consented patient data to accelerate research timelines, while simultaneously drafting a Declaration for Patient-Driven Innovation to secure structural funding and policy support. Participants concluded by identifying critical barriers in rare disease data and regulatory access, committing to a unified strategy that leverages AI and coalition-building to transform patients from subjects into primary drivers of care delivery and research agendas.

Talks at GS – The Story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities & Race Relations in America
Stanley Nelson, Jr., Dr. Wayne Frederick, Johnny Taylor, Jr.
Documentary director Stanley Nelson and current Howard University president, the 17th and seventh Black individual to lead the institution, discuss the historical necessity and modern evolution of HBCUs, highlighting their role in transforming legal prohibitions against Black literacy into a premier engine for professional mobility. The conversation details how political pragmatism, exemplified by General Howard's 1867 chartering by President Andrew Johnson and Speaker Paul Ryan's restoration of federal funding cuts, has allowed 101 institutions to produce the majority of Black physicians and dentists despite a contemporary 40-year decline in Black male medical school applications. Ultimately, the speakers argue that maintaining access to these "unbridled opportunities" requires leaders to navigate complex political landscapes without compromising their identity, thereby ensuring HBCUs continue to provide the societal change that began during Reconstruction.
