Cannabis researchers gain data access options

Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada's Cannabis Compliance Board must set rules for data-sharing agreements with cannabis research institutions. Eligible groups are universities, colleges, or other organizations with medical, scientific, or academic research among their principal purposes. Under these rules and an agreement, the Board may share information it maintains for cannabis or cannabis industry research. This includes otherwise confidential information about medical and adult-use cannabis licensees or applicants. The law does not require the Board to enter agreements or share data.

Nevada funds university cannabis research

Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada funds the Cannabis Policy Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. It provides $657,241 for personnel, operating, and travel costs in each budget year: 2025–2026 and 2026–2027. These funds cannot be committed after June 30 of their respective budget year. Spending ends September 18, 2026, for the first year's funds and September 17, 2027, for the second year's funds. The Institute also gets $1 million per budget year for direct research costs, including researcher pay, stipends, and research travel. Research funds can be used in either year, but cannot cover indirect costs or overhead. Research funds cannot be committed after June 30, 2027, or spent after September 17, 2027. Unused balances must return to the State General Fund by the applicable spending deadline. This funding goes to the Institute, not directly to households.
