Trounson's Report to Directors Posted by CIRM

The California stem cell agency has posted the slides that its president, Alan Trounson, will use to brief directors this afternoon on the state of CIRM.

They include his assessment and summary of recent stem cell research worldwide, his priorities and upcoming rounds for new grants.

Also on tap is a briefing by Geoff Lomax, senior officer for medical and ethical standards, on CIRM's Compliance Program. It is a presentation that CIRM grant recipients and their allied institutions should pay close attention to.

CIRM is expected to have about $1 billion in grants in place by the end of this week. Close monitoring of that cash and the performance of the recipient institutions and scientists is critical to CIRM's credibility.
