Active Awards Portfolio Dashboard

It takes a lot of effort to develop a promising stem cell research idea into an effective treatment that can help patients. CIRM funds a pipeline of projects spanning discovery, translation and clinical stage research. Check out our portfolio of active research awards in our interactive dashboard below. For a detailed list of CIRM-funded clinical trials, visit our Clinical Trials Dashboard.
