Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 Announcement of Availability of Funds for Embryo Donation and/or Adoption Grant Projects (Funding Opportunity Number PA EAA 14 002) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity in the health category aimed at supporting projects that expand or strengthen embryo donation and/or embryo adoption-related services and outreach. The program is rooted in the growth of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), particularly in vitro fertilization (IVF), which often results in embryos being created and then cryopreserved for later use. When individuals or couples achieve pregnancy without using all of their stored embryos, they may choose to make remaining embryos available to others. This opportunity focuses on that pathway by funding efforts connected to embryo donation, a process in which people with stored embryos agree to release them for transfer to another woman seeking pregnancy. The announcement notes that donation arrangements may be anonymous or involve known donors, reflecting the range of real-world approaches families consider.
The grant was posted on March 12, 2014, with an application closing date of May 12, 2014, and an archive date of June 11, 2014. The program anticipated making about five awards. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.007, listed under Public Awareness Campaigns on Embryo Adoption, signaling that public education and outreach are central themes of the funding.
Eligibility is limited to agencies and organizations rather than individuals. Eligible applicants include public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations, as well as educational institutions such as academic medical centers and affiliated clinics. American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are also eligible. The announcement requires that one entity be designated as the primary applicant organization, carrying legal responsibility for the project, while allowing other organizations to participate as collaborators, subgrantees, subcontractors, or partners when their expertise helps deliver services or meet participant needs.
The announcement emphasizes organizational capacity and readiness. It encourages applications from groups already operating programs capable of providing services to people considering embryo donation and/or adoption, including counseling. It also encourages applicants that can conduct a rigorous evaluation of the funded work, which signals that the funder expects measurable outcomes and credible assessment methods rather than informal reporting alone. Faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet standard requirements, but the grant includes clear boundaries: federal funds cannot support inherently religious activities such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. If a faith-based organization conducts those activities, they must be offered separately in time or location from grant-supported services, and participation must be voluntary. The funded entity must also avoid discrimination in service delivery and outreach based on religion or religious belief, including a person’s refusal to hold a belief or participate in religious practice.
Administrative and compliance details also appear in the eligibility language. Even if a recipient is a commercial (for-profit) organization, grant funds may not be paid as profit beyond allowable direct and indirect costs, consistent with DHHS uniform administrative requirements (noted in the announcement as 45 CFR Part 74.81, with exceptions for certain small business programs). In practical terms, this frames the award as cost-reimbursement for approved project expenses rather than a revenue-generating contract.
The sponsoring agency is the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listing points applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates around the clock except on federal holidays.
