Can researchers use biological materials or derivatives from federally funded research, including both hESC and non-hESC research, in ineligible research?
Biological materials or derivatives from federally funded research, including, for example, antibodies, plasmids, and other vectors, are usable in ineligible research on the same terms as derivatives from non-federally funded hESC research. Such materials may be used if the costs are not charged to the federal government, and provided that the federal grant does not prohibit use of the materials for non-federal purposes.
