The Irish Stem Cell Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organisation whose primary objective is to educate about stem cells, their basic biology and the research and therapies using them.

How can you get involved?

1. Your greatest asset is to simply understand the issue. You are then well prepared to be a voice of clarity around this often misunderstood issue.
   
   
2. Share what you know with others and encourage friends to make stem cell research an important consideration when voting for their elected officials. Also, add a link to your personal website.
   
   
3. If you are a teacher or lecturer, why not spend a class going through the links on our public information page with your class?
   
   
4. If you are a journalist make sure your story is scientifically and medically accurate – we can even check for you through our media page.
   
   
5. Know how to distinguish between fact and fiction when it comes to stem cells – share the International Society For Stem Cell Research 'myth bursting fact' sheet.
