Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-32c
There is created a Biomedical Research Trust Fund which shall be a separate nonlapsing fund. The trust fund may contain any moneys required or permitted by law to be deposited in the fund, may accept transfers from the Tobacco Settlement Fund and may apply for and accept gifts, grants or donations from public or private sources to enable the account to carry out its objectives. The Commissioner of Public Health may make grants-in-aid from the trust fund to eligible institutions for the purpose of funding biomedical research in the fields of heart disease, cancer and other tobacco-related diseases, Alzheimer's disease, stroke and diabetes. Each fiscal year, the total amount of moneys deposited in the account shall be used by the Commissioner of Public Health for such grants-in-aid, provided such grants-in-aid shall not exceed fifty per cent of the total amount held in the trust fund as of the date such grants-in-aid are approved. Not more than two per cent of the total available amount held in the trust fund shall be made available to the Department of Public Health for administration expenses relating to the trust fund and making the grants-in-aid. The Commissioner of Public Health shall develop an application for grants-in-aid under this section and may receive applications from eligible institutions for such grants-in-aid. For purposes of this section, "eligible institution" means an entity that has its principal place of business located in the state and is (1) a nonprofit, tax-exempt academic institution of higher education, or (2) a hospital that conducts biomedical research.
