DOR Awards Four DPRIT Seed Funding Grants | Division of Research | University of Houston The University of Houston (UH) Division of Research has selected four innovative research proposals to receive seed funding for team building and proposal development targeting the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT).
Launched in May 2025, the seed funding initiative supports UH faculty in crafting competitive proposals for the state’s new initiative to accelerate dementia research and prevention. Each winning team will receive funding to refine their proposals, which foster innovative approaches to address the growing dementia crisis that affects around half a million Texans.
Modeled on the successful CPRIT program, DPRIT aims to position Texas as a leader in dementia-related research and innovation. The initiative is backed by a proposed $3 billion from state general revenue over 10 years, with up to $300 million allocated annually. Funding is contingent on voter approval of a constitutional amendment (Proposition 14) in the November 2025 election.
“UH is committed to addressing real-world problems through transformative research,” said Claudia Neuhauser, vice president for research.
