Fifty physicians and scientists who review grant proposals at the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas have signed a strongly-worded statement in protest of recent Texas policies and laws that “severely undermine” public health.
The individuals who signed the letter are experts—appointed by CPRIT’s leadership to the institute’s scientific panels—who are responsible for reviewing award applications at the second largest publicly-funded granting organization for cancer after NIH.
“The state’s overt attack on women’s reproductive rights and its misguided and harmful COVID policies demonstrate an unwillingness by Texas lawmakers to prioritize the long-term health of citizens over short-term political gain,” CPRIT’s reviewers said in the statement shared with The Cancer Letter.
“We strongly believe in the CPRIT mission and are committed to supporting it, but we must speak out against policies that are anathema to its spirit. Failure to do so would implicitly signal that we accept those policies; we do not.”
