AUSTIN, Texas – The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) has awarded ten University of Texas institutions a total of 30 grants from CPRIT's May 2026 funding round. The awards span academic research, researcher recruitment incentives, core facility development, and research training — and include two of CPRIT's five inaugural Rural Clinical Trial Accelerator grants, which will bring new cancer trials to East Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.

The Archer Center marked its 25th anniversary in spring 2026, commemorating a quarter‑century of preparing students from University of Texas institutions for leadership and careers in public service. The anniversary was marked with a major celebration at the Library of Congress over the weekend, as well as alumni homecoming activities in Washington, D.C.
