The Times article was based largely on <a href=\"http:\/\/californiastemcellreport.blogspot.com\/2012\/01\/performance-review-of-california-stem.html\">a piece yesterday<\/a> on the <b>California Stem Cell Report<\/b> that reported that six of the 11 witnesses at the IOM hearing were coming from institutions that had received $418 million from CIRM. The item also reported that the only other witnesses were either CIRM employees or on its governing board. <\/p><p>Hiltzik wrote,<\/p><blockquote><p>\"The insular character of the stem-cell research community always has made objective evaluations of CIRM difficult -- most of the experts in the field are in a position to seek grants from the program or work with it on grant review. The IOM study could have been a counterbalance to that.
