In 2007, Texans voted to create the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) and to invest $3 billion in the state’s unprecedented fight against cancer.

On November 5, 2019, Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to continue CPRIT’s work and invest an additional $3 billion for finding and funding the best cancer research and prevention opportunities in the state.

CPRIT is now a $6 billion initiative – the largest state cancer research investment in the history of the United States and the second largest cancer research and prevention program in the world.
