[StemCellInformation] California Offers First Bonds to Individuals To Fund Stem Cell Research

California Offers First Bonds to Individuals To Fund Stem Cell Research

The California state treasury is finally offering up $250 million in bonds after being bogged down with lawsuits since voters approved the stem cell funding measure Proposition 71 in 2004. Individuals, rather than institutional investors, will have first dibs.

Usually, bonds are offered to larger, sophisticated investors because their value is more difficult to track than stocks.  But since the sale will raise money for the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, which is mandated by Proposition 71 to spend $3 billion on stem cell research over the next decade, the state treasury is counting on individuals who are passionate about stem cell research, and possibly less concerned about profit they'll make from their investment, to shell out.

"There probably is a large group of people in California who are philosophically committed to this," Lockyestate treatsurer Bill Lockyer told Reuters.

Individuals can place orders starting October 3, one day before everyone else.
