NIH Director Collins Says Cell Ruling Won’t Halt Most Ongoing Grants

By Dave, on August 25th, 2010

National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins said in a press call this afternoon that yesterday’s court injunction blocking federally funded research on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) will not affect grant payments that have already gone out the door this year. That’s good news for scores of investigators who worried that their experiments would grind to a halt. But the injunction has forced NIH to freeze its reviews of new hESC grants, and it has jeopardized payments for more than 20 ongoing grants awaiting their annual payment in September.
