Can students or post-docs supported by federal funding work on ineligible hESC research projects?
Yes, subject to the general protocols governing personnel work effort. The extent to which students will be able to engage in hESC research will thus depend on what work terms, if any, are contained in their funding agreements. If a student or post-doc is supported by federal funding s/he must receive written permission from the appropriate NRSA Grants Management Specialist prior to beginning work on non-registry hESC lines.
