(Secretary) on matters related to the C.W. Bill Young Cell

Public Health Service Act), the principal purpose of these programs is

requested by the Secretary, discuss and make recommendations regarding
the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program or the National Cord
Blood Inventory. It shall provide a consolidated, comprehensive source
of expert, unbiased analysis, and recommendations to the Secretary on
the latest advances in the science of blood stem cell transplantation
and donation. ACBSCT may also review the state of the science, using
adult stem cells and birthing tissues to develop new types of therapies
for patients, to consider the potential inclusion of such new types of
therapies in the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program.
The charter renewal for ACBSCT was approved on February 19, 2025.
The filing date is February 19, 2025. The renewal of the ACBSCT charter
gives authorization for the council to operate until February 19, 2027.
