CPRIT funding almost back on track


Contributing Writer-Austin Business Journal

“With today’s decision by budget conferees to restore CPRIT funding and the progress of the CPRIT restructuring bill, our coalition is optimistic that a reformed CPRIT soon will be moving forward as a national leader to fight cancer and save lives,” said Gary Thompson with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a member of a coalition of cancer advocacy organizations supporting reform that enables CPRIT to get back to business.
Despite the criticism leveled at CPRIT during the session, it is still supported by organizations such as Thompson's, which depend on CPRIT to fund cancer research.
