On November 2, 2004 California voters approved Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act ("Act"), a $3 billion bond measure to advance stem cell research over the next ten years. The Act also created the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) and the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee (ICOC) which will govern the Institute, and make grants and loans for stem cell research and research facilities. This article will cover the history of the "Act", its potential impact on NIH's current stem cell program, and what are other states doing to compete with California's revolutionary efforts. In addition, the article will discuss the criteria for California's grant applicants under the Act and the legal issues surrounding the new discoveries funded by the Act.
2004年11月2日,加利福尼亚州选民通过了第71号提案,即《加利福尼亚州干细胞研究与治疗法案》(“法案”),这是一项30亿美元的债券措施,旨在在未来十年推进干细胞研究。该法案还设立了加利福尼亚再生医学研究所(CIRM)和独立公民监督委员会(ICOC),后者将管理该研究所,并为干细胞研究和研究设施提供赠款和贷款。本文将涵盖“法案”的历史、其对美国国立卫生研究院当前干细胞项目的潜在影响,以及其他州为与加利福尼亚州的革命性举措竞争而正在采取的行动。此外,本文还将讨论根据该法案加利福尼亚州赠款申请人的标准,以及该法案资助的新发现所涉及的法律问题。
