Proposition 38 on the November ballot would provide nearly $8.5 billion for immunology research. But new reporting from our partner, CalMatters, has found that if the measure passes, it would designate half of those billions to just one research institute. 38 passes, four billion dollars would be allocated to one unnamed institute that must meet very specific criteria. The facility must focus on immunology and immunotherapy research and be affiliated with a University of California campus with a medical center that serves more than 3.5 million patients, as well as other terms. Right now, there appears to be only one research facility in the state that meets these criteria, the California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, based in a UCLA research park.
