This is an extension of 0925-0601, Request for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Line to be Approved for Use in NIH Funded Research. Executive Order (EO) 13505 states that NIH may support and conduct responsible, scientifically worthy human stem cell research, including human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research. The NIH Guidelines for Human Stem Cell Research (Guidelines), implementing the EO, established an NIH Registry of eligible hESC lines that comply with the set of standards described in the Guidelines. The Request for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Line to be Approved for Use in NIH Funded Research will continue to be used by respondents who have hESC lines and wish for the lines to be approved for use in NIH funded research.
EO: EO 13505 Name/Subject of EO: Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells
This an extension even though the number of responses have been reduced substantially. Program indicates that through Form 2890, NIH receives information from institutions about human embryonic stem cell lines that they have derived. NIH then determines whether the embryo donation consent process meets the strict requirements in NIH policy for use of the cell lines by NIH-funded investigators. NIH does not fund the derivation of the cell lines and has no involvement in the decisions that institutions make regarding derivation of new cell lines. In recent years, there have been fewer submissions to NIH about newly derived cell lines.
