The institute will award grants to promote innovation, develop therapies, and expand research capabilities in Texas. It will also establish a statewide clinical data registry and produce annual reports evaluating the state’s financial costs related to Alzheimer’s. The bill includes provisions for oversight, compliance, and auditing, with funding sourced from state appropriations, donations, and investment earnings​.
