I can find no support for this claim, would please list the grants, source and resultant publications for these "multimillion dollar programs" that you believe he lead?
Sapien, I apologize for the delay in responding, as I am new and just found these notifications in my spam. I have rectified that now.
Thank you for the information Sapien. I admit I am shocked at the widespread derogatory claims about Bruce Lipton on the web. Much of my information came from videos, which he was the speaker, and perhaps the claims I made of him were more of what I felt the information indicated rather than what was actually said.
Even though there aren't the sources sited I had expected, I think your main issue is somehow a religious correlation you have associated with him and his work. I see no need for that connection, as he was an atheist when he discovered this, and his theory doesn't call for one to believe in any deity. Because Lipton later claimed to now believe in spirituality may be a reason staunch atheists have preconceived notions, causing them to automatically look for only perspectives that dismiss his theory.... similar to what the religious right does regarding claims by atheist when they think it supports the idea there is no God.
I suppose these science forums are probably dominated by atheists? I try to be open minded, and I assure you my intentions have nothing to do with promoting a belief in Gods/Goddesses or anything of that ilk.
Here are some sources of those in the community that financially support Lipton's direction in their research and some information on some of his experience. Albeit, the source for his background info is from his own site, so it puts him in a more positive light, yet it is probably true.

I listed a claim from the following site, below the link:
https://www.brucelipton.com/about
"joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973. Dr. Lipton’s research on muscular dystrophy, studies employing cloned human stem cells, focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and colleague Dr. Ed Schultz and published in the journal Science was subsequently employed as a novel form of human genetic engineering."
Lipton's theory isn't so much concerned with what someone believes, but how they feel. Even so, what anyone believes affects the way they feel, yet it can also be a belief of which they are totally unaware. Rather, one is conscious of their beliefs or not, they effect their health. Bruce Lipton claims there are switches on the genes that can get turned on through one's feelings from the belief, which probably release hormones that set it all in motion.
Researching this online, I found lots of information to support your beliefs effect your health, yet I wanted to present you some of the most credible sources I could find on the first couple pages. The correlation between beliefs/emotions and health seems to be well accepted, and Lipton simply claims to have found the biological mechanisms in which it works. Below I sited claims to support this from Berkley, lots from Mayo but I only posted one site of theirs, and the same with Harvard, which I also only posted one of several.

IMO, this theory has roots all the way back to ancient times. Louise Hay, Mary Baker Eddy, and even in the Bible, and I know those I've just listed have religious affiliations so in this arena, it probably hurts my position rather than help it. Even so, the Bible has a strong correlation to Egypt and I could surmise this came from Egypt too. Ancient people were far more sensitive to identifying internal states, as in the mudras from India.
Sapien, when you are emotionally distressed, depressed, have anxiety, for an ongoing period of time, can you tell it takes a toll on your health? We've subconsciously developed a lot of our expressions around this epigenetics concept given by Bruce Lipton, like what is eating at you, who is your pain in your neck, or what is your gut telling you, and I wonder why that is?
