Grantees shall share biomedical materials first created under CIRM funding and described in published scientific articles for research purposes in California within 60 days of receipt of a request and without bias as to the affiliation of the requestor unless legally precluded. Under special circumstances, exceptions to the above are possible with approval by CIRM. Alternatively, authors may provide requestors with information on how to reconstruct or obtain the material. Such materials are to be shared without cost or at the actual cost of providing the material without an allocation of costs for overhead, research, discovery or other non-direct costs of providing the material.
