The work that I did was not solicited by any group or school or individual, just me. The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy has provided some support that I may actually finish some paperwork to receive some day and earlier access to the AMA Masterfile was purchased by our department and later provided in a more complete fashion by the Robert Graham Center.
