Gifts to the President’s Strategic Initiative Fund will empower Dr. Paul Klotman, and future leaders, to navigate the changing landscape of healthcare, research and education. This fund will enable Baylor to meet the needs of patients by delivering state-of-the-art care precisely when and where it is needed. Baylor will continue its legacy of leading change, not just responding to it. We will create tomorrow’s medicine today, and every day.
With a goal to raise at least $50 million, the President’s Strategic Initiative Fund will become a permanent endowment, generating an annual investment that will be a resource for Baylor’s most critical needs and highest priorities. This endowed fund gives presidents the tools they need to seize the next great idea, expedite breakthroughs in the lab and at the bedside, enhance biomedical training, recognize leadership and undertake projects that improve the lives of our local and global communities. Below are some examples of how this fund will be used.

Funds scholarships to promising students in the School of Medicine, School of Health Professions or the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
