Major Research Grants Announced


Yesterday the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) announced a Request for Proposals for two new stem cell research grant programs: The Scientific Excellence through Exploration and Development (SEED) Grant Program and the Comprehensive Research Grant Program.

CIRM was created by Proposition 71 passed by California voters in 2004.


CIRM, headquartered here in San Francisco, will dispurse $3 billion in state funds set aside for stem cell research.
Over the next two years the Institute anticipates awarding up to $24 million for as many as 30 SEED grants over two years. Additionally the Institute will disperse upwards of $80 million in grant money for comprehensive research programs.
