University of Texas Gives $100,000 in Grants for Clinical Trials

South Texas children suffering from Leukemia may have been given $100,000 by the University of Texas to get access to clinical trials, through the University of Texas Health Center. According to mysanantonio.com, the $100,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute will provide a patient navigator at the UT Health Science Center's Regional Academic Health Center in Harlingen who will focus his or her time developing and distributing information about trials that are available to young leukemia patients.

What do you think the impact of this grant will have on the study of leukemia? Do you think other organizations will follow suit? Post your thoughts here.
