Full Analysis

The contract is a $17.1M cooperative agreement from the National Institutes of Health to Baylor College of Medicine for the Consortium for Translational and Precision Health, a joint initiative with the University of Houston. The award spans from September 2024 to July 2031, focusing on clinical translational science, precision health, and health equity. As a private entity, Baylor College of Medicine has no publicly traded parent company or direct stock market impact.
