Read this in the DMN today: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2022...search-agency/

A coalition of science advocates wants Texas to permanently stake its claim in the biotech world by welcoming the federal government’s new biomedical research agency. And it’s waging an aggressive, targeted campaign to convince lawmakers that the state is the agency’s perfect new home.

Officially established in mid-March, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, or ARPA-H, is an ambitious Biden administration venture to speed up biomedical and health research with $1 billion in funding. While the agency will live administratively within the National Institutes of Health, its physical location is yet to be determined.

Enter the Coalition for Health Advancement and Research in Texas, an alliance of hospital systems, research institutions and chambers of commerce dedicated to presenting Texas as the best option for the federal government’s new biotech arm.

The coalition created a detailed choose-your-own-adventure plan for ARPA-H that presents the benefits of each major city in the Lone Star State, as well as proposed building sites and institutional partners.

Dallas points to biotech hub Pegasus Park and research giant UT Southwestern in its pitch to house the agency.

The foundation of ARPA-H in North Texas would serve as yet another investment in the area’s decades-long push to become a biotech behemoth. Already, Dallas-Fort Worth claims more than 60 biotech and life sciences companies and several prominent research universities.

Would love to know how the State pitched Houston…

Will Dallas outfox Houston again? No word of this in the Chronicle…

Default Houston IS competing for Biomedical Research Agency

Well I was pleasantly mistaken. The Chronicle reported this on April 11th!

McKeon along with Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner are making the case for Houston, which claims the world’s largest medical complex in Texas Medical Center, housing not only MD Anderson, Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann and the Baylor College of Medicine, but also 18 other hospitals.

I wonder if Biden will have any nostalgic preference for Houston given his son Beau was treated at MD Andersen.

The article reminds of stiff competition coming from Boston and San Francisco.

Biden won’t select Texas. This is going to a Democratic state. San Diego and Boston are the most likely candidates.

Any time any of these site selections are made (NASA was one of them), they all go to the a place that matches the states politics.
