Abstract

Grant funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) has totaled more than $760 million for research, commercialization, and prevention projects since the 2007 Texas Legislature approved $3 billion in bonds to create the organization. With additional funds from grant recipients, the institute has invested more than $902 million in Texas' quest to prevent and cure cancer.
