"A legislative panel gave preliminary approval Thursday to $70 million in American Rescue Plan Act allocations for medicine-related projects in Tulsa.
The two Tulsa proposals are $20 million toward an extension of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center’s Stephenson Cancer Center into the city and $50 million for a pharmaceutical research laboratory at Oklahoma State University’s Center for Health Sciences.
The pair are in addition to $38 million approved earlier for a new state mental health facility in downtown Tulsa.
Thursday’s proposals were among six forwarded by the working group to the full legislative joint committee during the meeting. The others are a $15 million OSU-CHS and Oklahoma Department of Health telehealth pilot project in McIntosh, Latimer, LeFlore and Pittsburg counties; a $50 million nutrition, performance and exercise institute at OSU’s main campus that will use student athletes as research subjects; $10 million for identifying and assisting hearing-impaired children; and $25 million for a rural hospital revitalization fund."
