Public Health - Maryland Pediatric Cancer Fund - Entities Eligible for Grants

Summary

The law changes who can receive money from the Maryland Pediatric Cancer Fund, allowing nonprofit hospitals, educational institutions and other nonprofit organizations to apply for research grants while removing individual physicians, laboratories and persons from eligibility. The state health secretary will continue to run the fund, may use up to 5% for promotional activities, and must report annually to the General Assembly. The goal is to focus limited resources on broader institutional research efforts.
