vi. That the results of research using
the hESCs may have commercial
potential, and that the donor(s) would
not receive financial or any other
benefits from any such commercial
development;
vii. Whether information that could
identify the donor(s) would be available
to researchers.
B. Applicant institutions proposing
research using hESCs derived from
embryos donated in the U.S. before the
effective date of these Guidelines may
use hESCs that are posted on the new
NIH Registry or they may establish
eligibility for NIH funding in one of two
ways:
1. By complying with Section II (A) of
the Guidelines; or
2. By submitting materials to a
Working Group of the Advisory
Committee to the Director (ACD), which
will make recommendations regarding
eligibility for NIH funding to its parent
group, the ACD. The ACD will make
recommendations to the NIH Director,
who will make final decisions about
eligibility for NIH funding.
The materials submitted must
demonstrate that the hESCs were
derived from human embryos: (1) That
were created using in vitro fertilization
for reproductive purposes and were no
longer needed for this purpose; and (2)
that were donated by donor(s) who gave
voluntary written consent for the human
embryos to be used for research
purposes.
The Working Group will review
submitted materials, e.g., consent forms,
written policies or other documentation,
taking into account the principles
articulated in Section II (A), 45 CFR part
46, subpart A, and the following
additional points to consider. That is,
during the informed consent process,
including written or oral
communications, whether the donor(s)
were: (1) Informed of other available
options pertaining to the use of the
embryos; (2) offered any inducements
for the donation of the embryos; and (3)
informed about what would happen to
the embryos after the donation for
research.
C. For embryos donated outside the
United States before the effective date of
these Guidelines, applicants may
comply with either Section II (A) or (B).
For embryos donated outside of the
United States on or after the effective
date of the Guidelines, applicants
seeking to determine eligibility for NIH
research funding may submit an
assurance that the hESCs fully comply
with Section II (A) or submit an
assurance along with supporting
information, that the alternative
procedural standards of the foreign

country where the embryo was donated
provide protections at least equivalent
to those provided by Section II (A) of
these Guidelines. These materials will
be reviewed by the NIH ACD Working
Group, which will recommend to the
ACD whether such equivalence exists.
Final decisions will be made by the NIH
Director.
D. NIH will establish a new Registry
listing hESCs eligible for use in NIH
funded research. All hESCs that have
been reviewed and deemed eligible by
the NIH in accordance with these
Guidelines will be posted on the new
NIH Registry.
III. Use of NIH Funds
Prior to the use of NIH funds, funding
recipients should provide assurances,
when endorsing applications and
progress reports submitted to NIH for
projects using hESCs, that the hESCs are
listed on the NIH registry.
IV. Research Using hESCs and/or
Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
That, Although the Cells May Come
From Eligible Sources, Is Nevertheless
Ineligible for NIH Funding
This section governs research using
hESCs and human induced pluripotent
stem cells, i.e., human cells that are
capable of dividing without
differentiating for a prolonged period in
culture, and are known to develop into
cells and tissues of the three primary
germ layers. Although the cells may
come from eligible sources, the
following uses of these cells are
nevertheless ineligible for NIH funding,
as follows:
A. Research in which hESCs (even if
derived from embryos donated in
accordance with these Guidelines) or
human induced pluripotent stem cells
are introduced into non-human primate
blastocysts.
B. Research involving the breeding of
animals where the introduction of
hESCs (even if derived from embryos
donated in accordance with these
Guidelines) or human induced
pluripotent stem cells may contribute to
the germ line.
V. Other Research Not Eligible for NIH
Funding
A. NIH funding of the derivation of
stem cells from human embryos is
prohibited by the annual appropriations
ban on funding of human embryo
research (Section 509, Omnibus
Appropriations Act, 2009, Pub. L. 111–
8, 3/11/09), otherwise known as the
Dickey Amendment.
B. Research using hESCs derived from
other sources, including somatic cell
nuclear transfer, parthenogenesis, and/
