	UH -Top Education Stories - Founders give Broad Institute another $100m for gene studies
		The Broad Institute, the young Cambridge biomedical research center whose launch was the largest-ever collaboration between Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, yesterday said that founders Eli and Edythe Broad have made a second $100 million donation.
		Since its founding in 2004, the Broad Institute has emerged as a centerpiece of the Boston-Cambridge biotechnology cluster, crunching data on human and animal genes, testing new chemicals as potential drugs, and hosting research forums that bring together some of the top young scientists at Harvard, MIT, and the area's many teaching hospitals.
		The Broad money is used to fuel ideas considered too wide-ranging to win grants from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, which often require a tight focus on specific diseases or mechanisms.
