Texas Takes on Cancer: The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute, A Case Study of Proposition 15In 2007, Texas legislators and voters approved legislation to dedicate $3 billion over ten years towards winning the war against cancer. This $3 billion investment authorized by the ballot initiative Proposition 15 will allow cutting edge cancer research to be conducted in Texas laboratories and ensure that proven discoveries are delivered to all segments of the population in local communities across the state. This historic legislation was successful due to the hard work of a broad coalition united in the fight against cancer. After receiving numerous requests, the Lance Armstrong Foundation developed a case study detailing the legislative journey from start to finish —Texas Takes on Cancer: The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute, A Case Study of Proposition 15 — to serve as a resource for other states considering similar investments in cancer.
