California’s stem cell agency has come a long way since state voters approved Proposition 71, authorizing the borrowing of $3 billion over 10 years. After surviving a lawsuit, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) laid groundwork for advancing stem cell research of all types, most notably by awarding grants and loans. More than $1.3 billion has been doled out by CIRM, most of it to academic institutions, followed by research institutes, with businesses seeing a relatively small share. The agency has taken steps toward more industry participation. Clinical trial support is one of four goals CIRM has set for its strategic plan covering the next five years. What do you think of CIRM’s track record thus far?
