Information about disease focus, human stem cell use or new cell line generation will typically not be available on the website until a few months after the award is announced. Disease categories are provided for awards that might impact a given disease or related area, whether those awards are for translational research on new therapy candidates or for basic research to address a biological question that is relevant to that disease.
