Does UCSF separately account for research using HESC not on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry (“non-registry HESC”) as opposed to Federally funded research?
Yes. The Committee on Human Research application and review is the central collection point for identifying any human stem cell research, including non-registry research. California law requires that all human stem cell research have Institutional Review Board approval, and University policy conforms to this requirement. In addition at UCSF we are asking investigators applying to the Committee on Human Research, Committee on Animal Research, Biological Safety Committee, Contract and Grants or Material Transfer Agreements to answer the questions on the Human Stem Cell Research Supplement about the use of stem cells. Based on the answers to the questions on this supplement, the UCSF Office of Sponsored Research and the Campus Budget Office will determine whether the study will require any additional information and/or if there are specific restrictions that apply to the research. Once the more detailed information is used to identify non-Registry HESC research, this activity is assigned
