Prop 14 would form Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas

This amendment would establish and fund the state’s newly formed Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

Recommended vote: For

The creation of DPRIT continues a tradition of the Legislature founding and funding critical medical research and builds on the successful model of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. This amendment would transfer $3 billion to the institute and ensure it receives $300 million annually. Dementia steals the latter years of too many of our elders. Texas can lead the fight for a cure.
