This is an extension of 0925-0601,
Request for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Line to be Approved for Use
in NIH Funded Research. Executive Order (EO) 13505 states that NIH
may support and conduct responsible, scientifically worthy human
stem cell research, including human embryonic stem cell (hESC)
research. The NIH Guidelines for Human Stem Cell Research
(Guidelines), implementing the EO, established an NIH Registry of
eligible hESC lines that comply with the set of standards described
in the Guidelines. The Request for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Line
to be Approved for Use in NIH Funded Research will continue to be
used by respondents who have hESC lines and wish for the lines to
be approved for use in NIH funded research.
EO: EO
13505 Name/Subject of EO: Removing Barriers to Responsible
Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells
This an extension even though
the number of responses have been reduced substantially. Program
indicates that through Form 2890, NIH receives information from
institutions about human embryonic stem cell lines that they have
derived. NIH then determines whether the embryo donation consent
process meets the strict requirements in NIH policy for use of the
cell lines by NIH-funded investigators. NIH does not fund the
derivation of the cell lines and has no involvement in the
decisions that institutions make regarding derivation of new cell
lines. In recent years, there have been fewer submissions to NIH
about newly derived cell lines.
