WASHINGTON The NIH has reversed a Trump-era ban on federally funded fetal tissue research.
The announcement on Friday from the office of NIH director Francis Collins, MD, PhD, began with a bit of history. On June 5, 2019, HHS announced that NIH intramural research that requires new acquisition of human fetal tissue from elective abortions will not be conducted, and also required ethics board review of any extramural research, it said. This notice informs the extramural research community that HHS is reversing its 2019 decision that all research applications for NIH grants and contracts proposing the use of human fetal tissue from elective abortions will be reviewed by an Ethics Advisory Board.
