Relating to the university advisory committee of and procedure for making awards by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

SB 2664 amends Texas Health and Safety Code sections to change procedures for the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). It restructures the University Advisory Committee membership (e.g., specifying appointments from UT System medical centers, Texas A&M Health Science Center, and other universities) and requires the Oversight Committee to obtain two-thirds approval for funding recommendations or grant applications, with written explanations for rejections. The bill also allows CPRIT to reuse recovered grant funds during the same grant cycle for projects ready to begin imminently. These changes apply only to grant applications submitted on or after September 1, 2025.
