Program Projects for Basic Research on Human Embryonic Stem Cells (P01): -The goal of the proposed Program Project (P01) grants is to support research on the basic biology of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and to promote the use of hESC as a model system to address significant questions in the basic biomedical sciences. This is a re-announcement of RFA-GM-07-002. -The P01 should include a minimum of three R01-like subprojects to study the unique characteristics of hESC and/or to use hESC as a model system to address a basic biological question. -The P01 should include one or more cores to support and advance hESC research at the grantee institution. Examples of activities that may be included in the core(s) are: growth, maintenance and further characterization of approved hESC lines listed on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry, http://stemcells.nih.gov/research/registry/; research on improved growth and culture conditions of hESC; comparisons of the characteristics of hESC lines; development of reagents and tools to enhance the use of hESC as an experimental model system; pilot projects using hESC to address a basic biomedical problem; training of investigators at the grantee institution to work with and use hESC in pilot experiments.
