SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Christopher Reeve Stem Cell Research Fund.  Establishes a special nonreverting, revolving and permanent fund for the support of stem cell research in honor of Christopher Reeve. The Fund will be used to support medical and biomedical stem cell research conducted in Virginia institutions of higher education relating to the causes and cures of disease, including, but not limited to, paralysis caused by spinal cord injury, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders, such as Lou Gehrig's disease. No moneys from the Fund may be provided to any entity that conducts human stem cell research from stem cells obtained from human embryos, or for conducting such research; however, research conducted using stem cells other than embryonic stem cells may be funded.  The Fund will consist of appropriations, gifts, grants, and donations from public or private sources, will be administered by the Commonwealth Health Research Board (an existing board with appropriate expertise), will not require matching funds from the institutions, and may be used to support stem cell research that is not eligible for federal research funds through the National Institutes of Health.
