My research involves both CIRM and gift/NIH/internal department funds, how will that affect reporting requirements that need to be satisfied for my research?
When stem cell research is funded by both CIRM and other funding sources, the Stem Cell Research Oversight Office will be required to report specific information to the State of California about your research. As currently proposed (and subject to change until finalized), these reporting requirements would include, but would not be limited to, descriptions and updates of the research, cell type(s), use of human oocytes and/or gametes, number of female IVF patients/clients, SCNT, parthenogenesis, induced pluripotency, clinical trials, and unanticipated events or noncompliance and institutional response. These reports need to be made or updated annually. When funding is solely from CIRM, SCRO is not required to report information to the state, and CIRM provides oversight to the research.
