NIH Rushes to Hand Out Stem Cell Grants During Temporary Stay
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is scrambling to push out research grants for work on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and has given a cautious all-clear to in-house stem cell researchers after an appeals court yesterday temporarily lifted a ban on federal funding for hESC research.
The stay allows NIH to return to business as usual until at least 20 September, which is the deadline for the parties to file briefs so the appeals court can decide whether to continue a lower court's 23 August preliminary injunction.
