HB 5 outlines the administrative structure and operational guidelines for the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute. The bill establishes an oversight committee, a peer review committee, and a program integration committee to manage research funding and ensure transparency. The institute is granted the authority to collaborate with state agencies and universities, allocate funds for research facilities, prevention programs, and treatment innovations, and implement rigorous conflict-of-interest policies. The institute’s funding will be subject to independent financial audits, and grant recipients must match at least half of the grant amount from external sources. Additionally, the institute is included under the Texas Sunset Act, meaning it will be subject to periodic legislative review and could be discontinued if not renewed by September 1, 2035.
