Grantee Resources
The grantee resources page includes the sources of CPRIT’s requirements, such as statutory and administrative rule text, as well as guidance on how to understand and apply those requirements during a CPRIT grant project. Examples of the grantee resources include proposed administrative rule changes, the Grant Policies and Procedures Guide, previous and upcoming compliance training opportunities, and other helpful webinars. Grantees will also find guidance on how to report fraud, waste, and abuse to CPRIT using Red Flag Reporting.
CPRIT Grant Management System
CPRIT utilizes an online grants management system that allows you to correspond with staff, manage budget information, submit reimbursement requests and required reports, manage grant contacts and review and accept contracts and contract amendments.
Rules and Statutes
State law requires agencies to use a rulemaking process, which includes an opportunity for the public to comment on proposed rules and rule changes before the agency adopts the final rule. When CPRIT proposes a new administrative rule or a change to an existing administrative rule, it must do so through a rulemaking project. The rulemaking project, which CPRIT announces in the Texas Register, gives the public advance notice of the proposed rule so that interested persons may decide whether they wish to comment on the proposal.
Current Rulemaking Project
There is not a current rulemaking project at this time.
Recently Adopted Rule Changes
At its August 21, 2024, meeting, the Oversight Committee approved the final adoption of a recent change to Chapter 701 that was initially presented at the May 15 meeting. The amendment to Section 701.11(5) removes the hard copy option for the Texas Cancer Plan, which CPRIT currently maintains as a PDF on its website here.
Beginning September 12, 2024, Texas Administrative Code Chapter 701 will reflect the recently adopted rule amendment, which is also available here: Adopted Rule Text August 2024.
