Harold Shapiro, chairman of the IOM
study committee and former president of Princeton University, and
Terry Magnuson, vice chairman of the panel and vice dean of research
at the University of North Carolina, will perform the briefing for
the 29 members of the CIRM governing board.
The meeting is scheduled to begin in
Los Angeles at 9 a.m. PST. Our best guess is that the IOM
presentation will come up shortly after the meeting starts.

In California, teleconference locations
that permit comment and participation in the meeting are available in
San Francisco, Pleasanton and La Jolla. A previous location in
Oakland is no longer available. Persons interested in those locations
should check with CIRM for more details on the specific locations
than is provided on the agenda.
The agency has also published its Power
Point presentations dealing with the initiation of a $40 million basic biology round, the proposed awards of more than $36 million for translational research and the agency's industry engagement plan. Four rejected applicants have appealed in
translational research round, which was budgeted for $80 million.
