Review Process
Deadlines for submitting new applications and amendment forms depend on the type of hESC research you are conducting. For more information about deadlines and the review process, go to New Applications.
New Applications
For new proposals or for ESCRO-approved existing proposals in which two or three core features might change, a new ESCRO application is required.
More about new applications [...]Note: Principle Investigators (PIs) with existing hESC research protocols have until 3/31/2009 to submit a new ESCRO application.
Amendments to Existing Applications
The two types of amendments to an ESCRO application, significant and not significant, involve different levels of oversight by the ESCRO committee.
