California Health and Safety Code Section 125119.3 mandates that Stem cell Research Oversight (SCRO) Committees reviewing human embryonic stem cell research that is not fully funded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) annually report to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) on the number of human embryonic stem cell research projects reviewed ant the status and disposition of these research projects. Health and Safety Code Section 125342 also requires written record be established for each research subject donating oocytes for medical research purposes and that this information be reported to CDPH. The reporting forms HSCR 1260-1 and HSCR 1260-2 below can be downloaded and completed forms should be emailed to stemcell@cdph.ca.gov by the review committee overseeing the research. Forms for the reporting period July 1- June 30 are due August 1.
On a biennial basis, CDPH will compile the information supplied in the reports submitted by the SCRO Committees reviewing human embryonic stem cell research, and develop a Legislative Review on human embryonic stem cell research activity in California as required by Health and Safety Code Section 125119.
