Markle program highlights for the period 1999-2004 include Information Technology for Better Health, Policy for a Networked Society, and Interactive Media for Children.
Over the last two years, the Markle Foundation has primarily focused its work in two areas where information technology (IT) holds great promise to benefit our society: health and national security. This focus grew out of a broader undertaking, initiated in 1999 as IT and Internet policy were emerging rapidly, to stimulate the participation of many needed actors in the public interest potential of IT.
