The Life Sciences Initiative (LSI) sub-subseries, 1999-2001 (1.0 linear feet), consists of materials on the development and implementation of a strategy to make the University of Michigan a leader in life sciences research. At the turn of the 21st century, huge progress was being made in life sciences in universities throughout the country and the world. President Bollinger was deeply interested in moving the University of Michigan forward in this field. The efforts made through the Life Sciences Initiative led to several new developments including the building of the Life Sciences Institute between central campus and the medical campus. Most of the files in this sub-subseries are background and planning materials. Researchers should also refer to the Life Sciences folders in the Topical Files series for additional information.
