‘A major step forward’: Texas agency touts approval of $90M for state cancer research, grants, prevention efforts -KPRC2 cancer Texas
CPRIT called the funding move “a major step forward in the fight against cancer,” in its news release, adding that “the slate of 40 projects from across Texas fund a wide range of innovative research and prevention efforts at major research hubs like Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston, but also invests in rapidly developing cancer research programs in El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley.”
A $6 million grant to UT RGV will support the South Texas Center of Excellence in Cancer Research, the first CPRIT-supported cancer research center in the region. The center’s focus is reducing cancer health disparities in the border region, which has the nation’s highest cancer incidence and mortality rate and, consequently, bears a disproportionate share of the cancer burden.
The Oversight Committee also approved three new recruitment grants totaling approximately $6 million to continue to bring the best and brightest cancer researchers to Texas from around the country.
