House Bill 2510 amends the Education Code to require the Texas Tech University System board of regents to establish the Texas Tech Diabetes Research Center to research issues relating to diabetes and conditions associated with that disease. The board must select a site for the research center at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's regional academic health center in El Paso and must establish the research center not later than January 1, 2003. The bill requires the center, in conducting its activities, to consult with the Texas-Mexico Border Health Coordination Office of The University of Texas--Pan American, which administers an acanthosis nigricans screening program.
