Texas Southern University has announced a $5.1 million research grant, one of the largest publicly-funded grants received in its 90-year history, the university said. The Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas award will be led by faculty in cancer research. The first year of the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute (CPRIT) grant will involve establishing and expanding the research equipment and laboratory space while serving research projects, and the remaining four years will fully engage the research and development services. User groups will include investigators and Texas start-up companies developing cancer therapies. To date, CPRIT has awarded 1,317 grants totaling more than $2.15 billion.
