Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 7, 2009 / Notices 32175 

vi. That the results of research using 

the hESCs may have commercial 

potential, and that the donor(s) would 

not receive financial or any other 

benefits from any such commercial 

development; 

vii. Whether information that could 

identify the donor(s) would be available 

to researchers. 

B. Applicant institutions proposing 

research using hESCs derived from 

embryos donated in the U.S. before the 

effective date of these Guidelines may 

use hESCs that are posted on the new 

NIH Registry or they may establish 

eligibility for NIH funding in one of two 

ways: 

1. By complying with Section II (A) of 

the Guidelines; or 

2. By submitting materials to a 

Working Group of the Advisory 

Committee to the Director (ACD), which 

will make recommendations regarding 

eligibility for NIH funding to its parent 

group, the ACD. The ACD will make 

recommendations to the NIH Director, 

who will make final decisions about 

eligibility for NIH funding. 

The materials submitted must 

demonstrate that the hESCs were 

derived from human embryos: (1) That 

were created using in vitro fertilization 

for reproductive purposes and were no 

longer needed for this purpose; and (2) 

that were donated by donor(s) who gave 

voluntary written consent for the human 

embryos to be used for research 

purposes. 

The Working Group will review 

submitted materials, e.g., consent forms, 

written policies or other documentation, 

taking into account the principles 

articulated in Section II (A), 45 CFR part 

46, subpart A, and the following 

additional points to consider. That is, 

during the informed consent process, 

including written or oral 

communications, whether the donor(s) 

were: (1) Informed of other available 

options pertaining to the use of the 

embryos; (2) offered any inducements 

for the donation of the embryos; and (3) 

informed about what would happen to 

the embryos after the donation for 

research. 

C. For embryos donated outside the 

United States before the effective date of 

these Guidelines, applicants may 

comply with either Section II (A) or (B). 

For embryos donated outside of the 

United States on or after the effective 

date of the Guidelines, applicants 

seeking to determine eligibility for NIH 

research funding may submit an 

assurance that the hESCs fully comply 

with Section II (A) or submit an 

assurance along with supporting 

information, that the alternative 

procedural standards of the foreign 

country where the embryo was donated 

provide protections at least equivalent 

to those provided by Section II (A) of 

these Guidelines. These materials will 

be reviewed by the NIH ACD Working 

Group, which will recommend to the 

ACD whether such equivalence exists. 

Final decisions will be made by the NIH 

Director. 

D. NIH will establish a new Registry 

listing hESCs eligible for use in NIH 

funded research. All hESCs that have 

been reviewed and deemed eligible by 

the NIH in accordance with these 

Guidelines will be posted on the new 

NIH Registry. 

III. Use of NIH Funds 

Prior to the use of NIH funds, funding 

recipients should provide assurances, 

when endorsing applications and 

progress reports submitted to NIH for 

projects using hESCs, that the hESCs are 

listed on the NIH registry. 

IV. Research Using hESCs and/or 

Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells 

That, Although the Cells May Come 

From Eligible Sources, Is Nevertheless 

Ineligible for NIH Funding 

This section governs research using 

hESCs and human induced pluripotent 

stem cells, i.e., human cells that are 

capable of dividing without 

differentiating for a prolonged period in 

culture, and are known to develop into 

cells and tissues of the three primary 

germ layers. Although the cells may 

come from eligible sources, the 

following uses of these cells are 

nevertheless ineligible for NIH funding, 

as follows: 

A. Research in which hESCs (even if 

derived from embryos donated in 

accordance with these Guidelines) or 

human induced pluripotent stem cells 

are introduced into non-human primate 

blastocysts. 

B. Research involving the breeding of 

animals where the introduction of 

hESCs (even if derived from embryos 

donated in accordance with these 

Guidelines) or human induced 

pluripotent stem cells may contribute to 

the germ line. 

V. Other Research Not Eligible for NIH 

Funding 

A. NIH funding of the derivation of 

stem cells from human embryos is 

prohibited by the annual appropriations 

ban on funding of human embryo 

research (Section 509, Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009, Pub. L. 111– 

8, 3/11/09), otherwise known as the 

Dickey Amendment. 

B. Research using hESCs derived from 

other sources, including somatic cell 

nuclear transfer, parthenogenesis, and/ 

or IVF embryos created for research 

purposes, is not eligible for NIH 

funding.
