Description
The Nebraska Stem Cell Research Project, administered by the Nebraska Stem Cell Research Program, funds research on non-embryonic stem cells at Nebraska-based institutions. Established by the Nebraska Stem Cell Research Act of 2008 and overseen by the Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee, the program aims to advance innovative stem cell science while explicitly excluding research involving human embryonic stem cells. Funding is derived from state tobacco settlement dollars and is intended to foster scientific advancements and leverage additional extramural support for Nebraska researchers.
