(2) the prospects for commercialization of the research;

(3) the likelihood that the research will strengthen Minnesota's economy through the creation of new businesses, increased public or private funding for research in Minnesota, or attracting additional clinicians and researchers to Minnesota; and

(4) whether the proposed research includes a bioethics research plan to ensure the research is conducted using ethical research practices.

(b) Projects that include the acquisition or use of human fetal tissue are not eligible for grants under this subdivision. For purposes of this paragraph, “human fetal tissue” has the meaning given in United States Code, title 42, section 289g-1(f).
