NIH Policy and Implementation

• The NIH Stem Cell Information web page lists many useful NIH websites for investigators interested in stem cell research. http://stemcells.nih.gov
• NIH has established the NIH Stem Cell Task Force to enable and accelerate the pace of stem cell research and to seek the advice of scientific leaders in stem cell research. http://stemcells.nih.gov/policy/taskforce/
• NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry currently lists all cell lines that meet the eligibility criteria for Federally funded research that are currently available for shipping. http://escr.nih.gov
• Criteria for Federal Funding of Stem Cell Research and the Establishment of NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-005.html
• National Institutes of Health guidelines for research using human pluripotent stem cells (Effective August 25, 2000, 65 FR 51976) (Corrected November 21, 2000, 65 FR 69951; and partially withdrawn November 7, 2001, NOT-OD-02-007). http://stemcells.nih.gov/policy/guidelines.asp, and http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-007.html
