Economic Development and Commercialization Subcommittee
The EDCS was created by the Oversight Committee to develop a set of recommendations for the Oversight Committee regarding both what the commercial activities of CPRIT should constitute as well as how the Institute should administrate and execute on these activities.
The Subcommittee is guided by the Institute’s enabling Legislation as well as CPRIT’s Mission Statement, both of which specifically provide for commercialization activities. The rationale behind providing for these activities is that research will only enhance patient outcomes if it leads to commercial products and processes to cure cancer or prolong the lives of patients and improve the quality of their lives while being treated, regardless of the patient’s ultimate outcome.
