UCLA Takes Four of 13 Awards Today; One Business Wins

The California stem cell agency has
made it official, sending out its press release on the $41 million in grants
approved today for institutions throughout the state. 

Most of the 13 awards, as usual, went to organizations represented on the governing board of
the agency. Individual board members, however, are barred from voting on specific grants
to their organizations. 
UCLA topped the list with four grants. No other
institution received more than one, including only one business, Numerate, Inc., of San Bruno,
via John
Griffin, the firm's chief scientific officer. The lack of awards
to businesses has long been a sore subject in the biotech community.  
The only news story so far was written by Bradley Fikes of the San Diego U-T, which circulates in an area that is a hotbed of biotech research. Institutions there snagged $12.6 million in four grants. Fikes also
identified one of the five researchers who lost their appeals on negative grant
review decisions. He is Evan
Snyder, leader of stem cell research at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research
Institute in La Jolla, who
had a $5 million request before the agency.

The agency's press release can be found here with more information on the proposed research here.
