Are there restrictions on which laboratory space can be used for ineligible hESC research?
Yes. Laboratory space can be used for ineligible hESC research unless it has been built or renovated with federal funds. To determine if federal funds have been used in the construction of the laboratory space, please complete the “UCSF Human Stem Cell Research Supplement” and return to Associate Vice Chancellor Research, Box 0407 . If federal funds have been used in the construction of the laboratory space, the space can be used for ineligible HESC if the terms of the grant that funded the construction have expired (usually the terms require using the space for a particular function for 20 years). See Space Not Allowed for Non-Registry Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
