Voted against that one. It's setting up a repeat of CPRIT's corruption issues. $3B with no actual oversight isn't how a research fund should be run. Don't get me wrong, CPRIT turned out some good shit. It also wasted shitloads of money.

I want DPRIT (this one), but y'know, transparent.

We appreciate the support from @thewelchfoundation.bsky.social, CPRIT, NIH, and the help from reviewers. This work was led by Surbhi, a talented postdoc in the lab. We have many stories in the pipeline, so expect to see papers from the lab on bioRxiv in 2026.

A Texas-funded #dementia research incubator (in the mold of its now successful 15-year-old cancer fund, CPRIT) could pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the field and have global impacts on how to prevent and care for individuals with the disease.

#Alzheimers #neuroscience #science
Could Texas do for Alzheimer’s research what it did for cancer?
Modeled after the state’s $6 billion cancer research fund, the dementia fund — a legislative priority for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick — could pump hundreds of millions of dollars into Texas researchers.
