 Texas on Top of Cancer Research with a $3 Billion Fund
When Texas voters approved a ballot measure to create the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), they took a major step forward in making Texas a hub for cancer research activity. Texas now has a $3 billion fund for research and commercialization projects aimed to find cures and prevent cancer.
CPRIT is “poised to make a difference for all Texans, cancer survivors and their families,” according to Mr. William Gimson, Executive Director of CPRIT.
The Dallas Regional Chamber is hosting a “Texas on Top of Cancer Research” Issue Forum to discuss developments and trends in the cancer research landscape at the state and national levels.
