<\/a><\/p>

The $700,000 study of the $3 billion
California stem cell agency is nearly concluded and is expected to be
released sometime in November.<\/p>

<\/div>
A draft of the report has been sent out
for “peer review” and no additional public meetings are
scheduled, according to a spokeswoman for the Institute of
Medicine(IOM)<\/b>, which is conducting the study. The IOM did not respond
to questions from the California Stem Cell Report<\/b> about the number of peer reviewers or how they were selected.<\/div>
<\/div>
The study<\/a> began last year under a contract <\/a>with the stem cell agency, which commissioned the effort, in
part, because agency directors hoped the findings by the blue-ribbon
panel would bolster efforts to win voter approval of another multi-billion dollar state bond issue<\/a>. More recently the agency has
explored the possibility of private financing to continue operations.<\/div>
<\/div>
The agency is expected to run out of
funds for new awards in 2017. It currently has something in the
neighborhood of $700 million for awards that is not already committed
in one fashion or another.<\/div>
<\/div>
Christine Stencel<\/b>, senior media
relations officer for the IOM, said in an email,<\/div>

“There will be no
further information-gathering meetings. The committee members have
finished drafting their report and it is now undergoing peer review.
Reviewers are anonymous to study staff and committee members; they
will be listed in the front matter of the report when it’s finished
and released.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

She said the stem
cell agency will not be given an opportunity to comment further.
Stencel said,<\/div>

“Sponsors are not
treated as peer reviewers; that is, they’re not afforded an
opportunity to comment on IOM draft reports prior to public release.
IOM is aiming for a public release in November (the exact time frame
will hinge on the duration of the peer review, which is influenced by
people’s schedules and adherence to deadlines). IOM is looking at
options for how best to hold this release, whether there will be an
event of some sort. Once plans are set, they’ll be noted on the
project web pages and IOM will alert the various stakeholders and
interested parties of the plans. The study is moving along and we’re
looking forward to the report’s debut in the not too distant
future.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>
