California Stem Cell Agency Still in Talks on $40 Million for StemCells, Inc.
♫ Sunday, November 25th, 2012
The California stem cell agency and
StemCells, Inc., are still trying to reach agreement on a deal in
which the company would receive $40 million from the state's
taxpayer-funded research effort.
The sticking point is the $40 million
in matching funds required from the Newark, Ca., firm under the terms
of the two awards approved in July and September. The latter award
was okayed on a 7-5 vote by the governing board after it was rejected
twice by the agency's reviewers.

CIRM staff normally reviews
applications after they are approved by the agency's governing board
to be sure that all conditions are being met. However, in the case of
the September award to StemCells, Inc., CIRM's governing board took
the unusual step of publicly stating that the firm must demonstrate
it has the $20 million in matching funds before it receives any
payments from CIRM. The board did not take that sort of public
position on the $20 million grant approved earlier in the summer,
although matching funds are required in that case as well.

The former chairman of the $3 billion

lobby for approval of the second award to StemCells, Inc., which is a
publicly traded firm.. It was the first such appearance by Klein
before his former colleagues since leaving the agency in June 2011.

Action on the StemCells, Inc., awards
attracted attention from the Los Angeles Times last month. Pulitzer
Prize-winning columnist Michael Hiltzik wrote that the process was “redolent of cronyism.” He said a “charmed relationship”
existed among StemCells, Inc., its “powerful friends” and the

In nine days, the California stem cell
agency plans to take another crack at finding ways to curb its
free-wheeling appeal process involving scientists whose applications
for millions have been rejected by reviewers.
It is a matter of considerable interest
to researchers who need the cash to keep their labs running and remain in good standing with their host institutions.

The stem cell agency's governing board this fall created a task force to deal with the appeals issue after a
record-breaking number of researchers made public appeals featuring
emotional patient advocates. Even the former chairman of the agency,
Robert Klein, made a two-time pitch for one applicant. Board members
later complained publicly about “arm-twisting,” lobbying and“emotionally charged presentations.”

Trounson's Texas reference was to the
mass resignations of reviewers at that state's $3 billion cancer
research effort. Questions have been raised about integrity of its grant review process and the program's political and biotech industry
relationships. James Drew of the Dallas Morning News produced a bit of an overview this week. In another piece, Eric Berger of the
Houston Chronicle provided quotes from emails from the infighting on
a controversial $18 million grant.

Stem cell scientist Paul Knoepfler of
UC Davis also wrote about the BioTime-Geron deal last week. Noting
that Geron's decision a year ago left many “upset to put it
mildly,” Knoepfler said the “idea of BioTime buying the Geron
stem cell program is a great one that provides new hope on many
levels.”

The California stem cell agency has
posted the dates for meetings of its board of directors for 2013
with most of the sessions scheduled for the San Francisco Bay Area.
One is expected to take place in San
Diego in August, and another in Los Angeles 13 months from now. The
other five are in Northern California. Not yet on the schedule is a board workshop in early January that will be open to the public.
Diego in August, and another in Los Angeles 13 months from now. The
other five are in Northern California. Not yet on the schedule is a board workshop in early January that will be open to the public.
Why is this of interest to researchers
and others? The board controls the purse strings to $3 billion for research grants and determines what areas are to be funded. Astute scientists would do well to take in the sessions.
They offer insights into board thinking and opportunities to deal
with the agency staff and directors on an informal basis. Only a
handful of researchers – or less – attend the meetings on a
regular basis, but have been well-served by the time spent.
