Due to circumstances beyond our control, CPRIT has made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming Innovations in Cancer Prevention and Research Conference VI scheduled for July 30 – 31, 2020.
Texas continues to operate under state and local orders that prohibit gatherings and restrict travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With no indication that authorities will lift these orders soon, this uncertainty makes it impossible for conference speakers and attendees to schedule travel, book accommodations, or submit scholarly content for the conference.
