The “Project on Death in America” (PDIA), an initiative funded by the Soros Foundation’s Open Society Institute, invested 45 million dollars between 1994 and 2003 to transform the cultural context of death, dying, and bereavement in America, and to advance improved care for the dying through knowledge development and policy advocacy. The PDIA Web site is polished and comprehensive, with links to policy briefs and full-length publications on the ethical, clinical, and economic aspects of palliative care in the U.S. and internationally. It serves as a great resource for students and faculty interested in any aspect of palliative care and the state of death and dying in the U.S. In particular, the PDIA Web site is an excellent resource for students who have little background in palliative care, either clinically or in terms of policy issues.
