DESCRIPTION:In August\, 2001\, George Bush banned the use of Federal fundin
 g for any embryonic stem cell 
\nresearch using stem cell lines created fro
 m that point forward.  Since then\, individual 
\nphilanthropists\, foundat
 ions\, and state 
\ngovernments have struggled to fill the funding and regu
 latory void created by this unprecedented Presidential action.
\nWith all t
 he remaining candidates in this year’s Presidential race on-record advoca
 ting NIH support for this promising research\, what is the likelihood of a 
 radical shift in the funding landscape?  What are the options for a coordin
 ated policy and funding approach between the states and federal 
\ngovernme
 nt?  Please join us as we discuss these 
\nissues — part prognostication 
 and part best 
\npractices.
