$70 Million Research Proposal Up Next Week at California Stem Cell Agency


Directors of the $3 billion California
stem cell agency will hold a special, teleconference meeting next
Tuesday to deal with business that was put off last month, including
a new, $70 million research round.
The meeting is necessary because directors could not finish their business July 26 after they lost the supermajority quorum required to do business. They delayed action on a number of
matters, including the translational research proposal, which is
scheduled to be posted as an RFA next month.
The governing board also had discussed
dealing with changes in its intellectual property rules at next week's meeting, but that proposal is not on Tuesday's agenda. The next meeting of the board is Sept. 5 and 6 in San Francisco. The
agency has confirmed that it will be a two-day session.
At least one new appeal is expected to
come up in September in the $243 million disease team round that
consumed so much time in July.
Next week meeting involves a host of
locations throughout California. The public is entitled to
participate in the session from any of those sites. The specific
addresses can be found on the agenda.
