FY14 Announcement of Availability of Funds for Embryo Donation and/or Adoption Grant Projects
The increasing success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has enabled some infertile couples to create embryos through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) that are then cryopreserved(frozen) for future use.
If a couple becomes pregnant without using all of the stored embryos,they may choose
to donate the remaining embryos for use by other infertile couples.
Embryo4 donation is a relatively new process in which individuals with extra frozen embryos agree torelease the embryos for use by another woman who wishes to achieve pregnancy.
The recipientcan be either anonymous or known to the donor(s).
