The Lazio Region DTB is managed by Filas.

In particular, 11 million Euros will go to ENEA (Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment) to implement projects addressing proton therapy for tumors, 2 million are reserved for IRCCSs (hospitals and research institutes) for research on adult stem cells and 15 million euro are earmarked for the Lazio Region DTB, the Biosciences Cluster as per the agreement between the National Ministry of University and Research and the Lazio Region. Finally, four and half million Euros will be allocated to the Tor Vergata University of Rome to implement a multi-purpose centre for regenerative medicine.

Filas will manage the fund as determined by Regional Act N. 26, 2007.
