Fiscal Analysis
This bill authorizes the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents to
establish the Texas Tech Diabetes Research Center (Center) at the Texas
Tech University Health Sciences Center campus in El Paso by January 1,
2003. The Board of Regents would be authorized to select a site for the
Center and would be responsible for the organization, control, and
management of the Center. The Center would develop and conduct research
on diabetes and disease-related conditions.
Methodology
Based on analysis prepared by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board, the Center would require one director, two professional research
staff, and one support staff starting part-time in fiscal year 2002 and
becoming full-time in fiscal year 2004. An additional support staff and
a data manager would also begin full-time in fiscal year 2004.
No additional space or library holdings would be required.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
