• Web-based survey
• Open- and closed-ended questions n = 10
• Designed to evaluate specific impacts of NIH-funding
freeze and general impacts on stem cell research
• Conducted between August 26 – September 7
• N = 255 Current and former PIs invited to participate
• N = 126 Respondents (126/255 = 49%)

Have you ever received NIH funding to perform human
embryonic stem cell research (hESC) – research covered
under prior presidential orders or the NIH Guidelines for Human Stem Cell Research?

Please characterize the impact of the NIH funding freeze
on your hESC research program in general.

to reduce or eliminate positions absent any new funds
becoming available?

Please estimate the types of positions and impact you
anticipate.
