Montana initiative seeks funds for biomedical research

Signature collection has been approved by the secretary of state for an initiative for the Nov. 8 ballot that will issue as much as $200 million in bonds over 10 years to fund Montana-based biomedical research into brain diseases and disorders and mental illnesses.

Montanans for Research and Cures, the organization behind I-181, otherwise known as the Montana Biomedical Research, Veterans Care and Cures Act, will now begin collecting the 24,175 signatures needed to qualify the initiative for the ballot, organizers said Wednesday.
