Opportunity Summary:
The FY11 Announcement of the Anticipated Availability of Funds for Embryo Donation and/or Adoption Cooperative Agreement Projects (Funding Opportunity Number PA EAA 11 002) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity in the health category administered by the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The purpose is to support cooperative agreement projects that either (1) increase public awareness of embryo donation and/or adoption, or (2) provide practical services that make embryo donation and/or adoption easier to carry out. The program is grounded in the reality that assisted reproductive technologies (ART), especially in vitro fertilization (IVF), often result in embryos being cryopreserved for future use. When individuals or couples achieve pregnancy without using all stored embryos, some may choose to release unused embryos so they can be used by other infertile individuals or couples. The announcement describes embryo donation as a relatively new process in which people with remaining frozen embryos agree to donate them for another woman to attempt pregnancy, with arrangements that may be either anonymous or known to the donor.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which generally means the government expects an ongoing level of involvement or collaboration with awardees compared with a typical grant. For FY 2011, the opportunity anticipated making about four awards. The award amounts were structured with a floor of $200,000 and a ceiling of $500,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. The funding is associated with CFDA number 93.007 and is tied to “Public Awareness Campaigns on Embryo Adoption,†reflecting that at least part of the intended work involves public-facing education and outreach, although the announcement also clearly supports direct service activities that facilitate embryo donation/adoption processes.
Eligibility is limited to organizations rather than individuals, and applicants are expected to demonstrate prior experience with embryo donation and/or adoption along with knowledge of all major elements of the process. The eligible applicant types are broad and include public agencies, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Educational institutions, including academic medical centers and affiliated clinics, are specifically noted as eligible, and AI/AN/NA organizations are also explicitly included. The application must name one lead organization that assumes legal responsibility for the project, but the program also allows additional entities to participate as co-participants, subgrantees, subcontractors, or collaborators when they contribute expertise or help meet recipient needs. Awards are intended for organizations that can demonstrate capacity to deliver the proposed services and meet all requirements described in the announcement.
The announcement also addresses faith-based and community-based organizations, stating that those meeting the eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply, while placing clear boundaries on how federal funds may be used. Cooperative agreement funds cannot support inherently religious activities such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. If an organization engages in those activities, they must be separated from the federally funded program by time or location, and participation must be voluntary for beneficiaries. In delivering services and outreach, funded entities are also prohibited from discriminating against current or prospective beneficiaries based on religion, religious belief, refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to participate in religious practice. In addition, applicants are reminded of the HHS administrative requirement (45 CFR Part 74.81) that, with limited exceptions not generally applicable here, grant funds may not be paid as profit to any recipient, including commercial organizations; “profit†is defined as any amount above allowable direct and indirect costs.
Key dates in the posting show the opportunity was posted and created on May 13, 2011, with an application closing date of June 28, 2011, and an archive date of July 28, 2011. The notice instructs applicants to refer to the full grant announcement for specific submission requirements and exact deadlines. For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed support route is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern; support@grants.gov). Overall, the opportunity is designed to expand both awareness and operational support for embryo donation/adoption by funding experienced organizations capable of educating the public and/or delivering services that help donors and recipients navigate this specialized and sensitive reproductive health pathway.
