R help - Jan 2012 - Adding Institution-Affiliation to Description File of R Package

Hi,

I'm just finishing up an R package and I was wondering if anyone knows how
to include institution name in the "Description File."  That is, my
current
Description File looks like:

Package: curatedCancerData
Type: Package
Title: Cancer Gene Expression Analysis
Version: 1.0
Date: 2011-12-24
Author: Benjamin F. Ganzfried, et al.
Maintainer: Benjamin F. Ganzfried <ben.ganzfried@gmail.com>
Description: The curatedCancerData package provides relevant functions and
data for gene expression analysis.
License: GPL (>= 3)


Ideally I would like the final PDF to have footnotes showing the university
affiliations of all the authors (more will be listed than currently are
above).  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks!

Ben

Write a curatedCancerData-package.Rd topic, and put the information in 
there.  It won't show up on the title page of the reference manual, but 
it will be the first topic.  See "Documenting Packages" (section
2.1.4,
I think) in the "Writing R Extensions" manual.
