A bill for an act providing a standing appropriation to the state board of regents for pediatric cancer research at the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics.

HF 2310 establishes a permanent state funding stream for pediatric cancer research at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. It appropriates $1 per Iowa resident annually (based on U.S. Census population estimates), capped at $3 million per fiscal year starting July 2026, directly from the state general fund. The funds must be used exclusively for pediatric cancer research activities - including lab work and clinical trials - at the University of Iowa, with strict prohibitions against covering administrative costs or unrelated projects. The State Board of Regents is required to submit an annual report detailing how the funds were spent to the governor and legislature by October 1. This bill directly affects the University of Iowa's cancer research programs and all Iowa residents through the per-resident funding mechanism.
