現在那個州還有錢拿出來去資助癌症研究 - 只有得克薩斯

Houston-area scientists received more than half of $61 million in cancer research grants announced in Austin on Wednesday, the first round of the state's $3 billion assault on cancer.

The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center got $12.8 million and Baylor College of Medicine $11.5 million as the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas awarded 66 grants, most focused on what's known as translational research — taking discoveries quickly from the laboratory to the patient.

The inaugural grants come three years after Texans voted overwhelmingly to approve the initiative, a constitutional amendment allowing the state to issue up to $300 million a year in bonds over the next decade. It made Texas the nation's second largest funder of cancer research, behind only the National Cancer Institute.

The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas received the first round's most funding, $16.5 million, followed by M.D. Anderson and Baylor. Next in line were UT Health Science Center at Houston with $4.5 million, UT Health Science Center at San Antonio with $3.8 million and Rice with $2 million.

Grants to the Methodist Hospital Research Institute and private companies InGeneron and Visualase brought the Houston area's funding total to $32.6 million.

The grants were selected from nearly 900 applications.
