Description
In August, 2001, George Bush banned the use of Federal funding for any embryonic stem cell
research using stem cell lines created from that point forward. Since then, individual
philanthropists, foundations, and state
governments have struggled to fill the funding and regulatory void created by this unprecedented Presidential action.
With all the remaining candidates in this year’s Presidential race on-record advocating NIH support for this promising research, what is the likelihood of a radical shift in the funding landscape? What are the options for a coordinated policy and funding approach between the states and federal
government? Please join us as we discuss these
issues — part prognostication and part best
practices.
