In the upcoming November 4, 2025, election, Proposition 14 is a proposed Texas constitutional amendment to create and fund the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT). If approved, the proposition would establish the largest state-funded dementia research program in the United States. 

•  The amendment would allocate an initial $3 billion from the state's general revenue to establish the Dementia Prevention and Research Fund.
• The funding is designated for research, prevention, and treatment of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and related neurological disorders.
