Prevention Review Council
The Prevention Review Council (PRC) oversees the peer review of all cancer prevention applications submitted to CPRIT. Members of the PRC chair each of the prevention peer review committees. The PRC must assess the evaluations completed by the prevention peer review committees and create a final list of proposals recommended for CPRIT grant awards. This list is submitted to CPRIT's executive director. Texas law affords great weight to the review council’s funding recommendations, requiring the executive director’s final recommendations for funding awards to be “substantially based” on the list submitted by the review council.
