In November, Texas voters approved a constitutional amendment to invest $3 billion in dementia research over the next decade. While a lawsuit is currently delaying implementation of the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), the initiative aims to make Texas a national leader in dementia research and prevention—driving scientific breakthroughs, attracting top researchers and creating jobs across Texas.

How will funds be distributed, how are institutions competing for grants, and how could this work translate into better prevention, care and support for Texans living with dementia and the caregivers who support them?
