Arizona's most recent bid for boosting biotech within its borders is a $100 million pledge to fund bioscience research in the state. The pledge comes from businessperson and philanthropist Jerry Bisgrove, who made the pledge - via his Stardust Charitable Group - to Science Foundation Arizona (SFA), a nonprofit organization founded earlier this year to coordinate bioscience research in the state. But there's a catch: The pledge is good only if the state matches it.
