In 2012, the Institute program continued to fund four research laboratories: Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, University of Southern California School of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles Medical School, and the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee; in addition, the WRI also funded nine fellowships at medical schools and hospitals, in pulmonary research. Note, one fellowship was upgraded to research lab status and two fellowships were terminated due to budget cuts. Current sponsored programs at the four laboratories include: treatment of lung infections by newly discovered natural antibiotics known as defensins at UCLA; new strategies for treatment of lung injury and pulmonary edema from air pollution and other lung injuries at USC; advanced methods of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation at Burke; and smoking sensation programs for patients in pulmonary rehabilitation, as well as other physical rehabilitations at the Patricia Neal Center. The objective for funding research fellowships in lung diseases at many major universities throughout the United States is to help train future leaders of lung research and thoracic specialists. The following medical schools and hospitals received research fellowships and special gifts restricted to pulmonary research purposes: University of Southern California, Emory University, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Massachusetts, University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas, Northwestern University, University of Wisconsin, New York University, and Children's Mercy Hospital (Kansas City, MO). The American Association of Health Educators continues to receive a fellowship for funding a doctoral level candidate specializing in a public health issue related to smoking.In 2012, the WRI presented, for a fifth time, the Annual Award for Outstanding Contributions to Lung Research. This annual award is granted to an eminent scientist for a body of extraordinary and meritorious research contributing to the advancement of lung health. In 2012, the prize was awarded to Dr. Elizabeth Nabel, who is recognized for her contributions to the understanding of molecular genetics of cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Nabel launched new scientific programs in genetics and genomics, stem and progenitor cell biology, translational research, global health, and support for young investigators. As in years past, the honoree received a personal stipend of $50,000. Currently, the WRI offers the most prestigious prize and recognition offered in the United States to a person specializing in research that has a direct impact on pulmonary health.The WRI neonatal ventilator equipment program for hospitals across the United States, continued in 2012. A total of $400,000 was dedicated to this program. The list of recipient hospitals is as follows: Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio, Altru Health in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Blue Mountain Healthcare in John Day, Oregon, DuBois Medical Center in DuBois, Pennsylvania, Fauquier Health in Warrenton, Virginia, Henry Mayo Hospital in Santa Clarita, California, Memorial hospital in Gulfport, Mississippi, Mercy medical Center in Redding, California, Pomona valley Hospital in Pomona, California, Southern Regional Medical Center in Riverdale, Georgia, St. Barnabas Medical Center in West orange, New Jersey, and St. Vincent Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. 1019759 594894 Patient Assistance ProgramThe Pioneers Assistance Fund program, another program of the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, provides industry veterans of the theatrical community (exhibition, distribution and trade services) with financial assistance for health and welfare issues.

The scholarship is for $3,000 per person and for the fiscal year, $9,000 in scholarships was awarded.

The WRI continues to distribute public service announcements on an annual basis, for both theatrical and television audiences. Print public service announcements and audio PSAs are distributed annually to various print and media outlets. Celebrities, who donate their time, are featured in the public service announcements. The 2011/12 public service announcement for WRI was "Asthma Awareness" starring award winning actor Bryan Cranston. The PSA received playtime at 30 theater chains and played just over 2,700 times at 200 locations. The PSA received a great deal of play and recognition on the internet, receiving placement on high traffic web sites as Yahoo, MSNBC, Boston.com, Daily news, and International Business Times. The spot was featured on nine blogger sites, was Tweeted over 7,000 times and reached an estimated audience of over 10 million people. "Asthma Awareness" was also distributed to television stations, which yielded; play on 94 stations in 40 markets for 4,500 plays. An audio public service announcement featuring Dr. Betsy Nabel (WRI Annual Award Winner), on the topic of good health habits, was released to radio and the internet, it also was well received.

The Will Rogers Institute's web site continues to receive over a half-million hits per year and approximately 140,000 page views. In 2011 and 2012, WRI launched a social media push creating a Facebook page, Twitter handle and continued to develop the Will Rogers Institute You Tube channel. The social media outlets have become a primary source of sharing information to constituents and the general public on a weekly basis, to supplement traditional mediums, such as newsletters and e-mail blasts. Due to the tremendous success of public service announcements and partnerships with theater chains across America, WRI filled requests for just over 20,000 free educational booklets. The most requested booklets were on the topics of stress management, teens and stress, walking, fitness and healthy eating, asthma, and how to manage COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).In 2011/12, the WRI continued its partnership with the National Boys and Girls Club and its "Be Healthy, Be Fit, Be Great" Award. The award, a $5,000 grant to implement its triple play program, which promotes nutrition, health and fitness to members and their families, is given annually to a local branch of the Boys and Girls Club that has shown exemplary methods of promoting healthy and active lifestyles. The 2011/12 award was given to the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford, Connecticut.Will Rogers Institute Information can be found at www.wrinstitute.org Will Rogers EducationThe WRMPPF, as well as being a health charity, also has the mission of perpetuating the memory of the great humanitarian Will Rogers.

The WRMPPF also works with the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation in Los Angeles, California. In 2011/12, the two organizations worked together to provide a free public movie night at the Will Rogers State Park showing a classic Will Rogers Film ("Too Busy to Work"). The event was attended by over 300 people. The two organizations continue to promote the memory of Will Rogers by staging a birthday celebration at the State Park on the weekend closest to November 4th.
