Monitoring Money at CIRM

Money and the control of it is the topic for an upcoming meeting of the Governance Subcommittee of the California stem cell agency on Aug. 31.

The budget for 2005-06 is on agenda for the meeting as well as the contracts that the agency has been letting. Presumably the budget is for the fiscal year that most state agencies use, which began last July 1. Also up for consideration is a cryptic item called "naming programs." We have a query in to CIRM on what those are. (If any of you readers know or want to guess, please send a note to djensen@californiastemcellreport.com). Then there is consideration of bylaws for the Oversight Committee.

There is no backup material posted with the agenda, but it is still early. Given past practices, however, we may not see much until about 24 hours before the meeting, if then.

The meeting is scheduled for downtown Los Angeles in the central public library but teleconference sites are available at other locations around the state.
