No federal funds may be used, either directly or indirectly, to support research on human embryonic stem cell lines that do not meet the criteria established by President Bush on August 9, 2001. Cell lines not listed on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry do not meet these criteria. Thus, research on lines (or their derivatives) not listed on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry may not be supported by federal funds.
