The Commission will define diseases for which prizes will be awarded, establish criteria for cures, and award prizes to successful treatments. States can join the compact, and the Commission will manage prize funds, ensure ethical research standards, and handle disputes. The compact becomes effective when enacted by at least two states, with the Commission established after six states join.
