Show Me the Money: How Stem Cell Researchers Can Obtain State Funds
By: Michael J. Werner
Though states historically have taken a back seat to the federal government regarding funding biotech research that is no longer the case. States are aggressively using monies and other incentives to support stem cell and other life science research and development. This provides genuine opportunities for cell therapy companies looking for resources to help fund their operations. No matter where your company is located, by carefully examining policy options and developing a plan, you can obtain public capital – whether or not your state has a specific stem cell funding program.
While in years past stem cell research has been somewhat controversial in some political circles, there's clear evidence that is changing. In fact, 2006 was a watershed year for stem cell research as a ballot initiative in Missouri was passed that amended the state's Constitution, and Republican and Democratic candidates across the country who aggressively promoted their support for this research were elected or re-elected.
This development is being felt in state capitals as more and more states are developing programs to support stem cell research. ............
