The future of fertility science is on the line. 

Your donation today keeps critical research alive and reproductive scientists working to make advances in our field.. 

Federal funding cuts have already begun to destabilize the careers of brilliant investigators and the momentum of transformative research. Entire areas of study—once federally supported—are now being sidelined.

Promising research proposals are no longer being reviewed. Projects that have the potential to shape the future of fertility treatments, women’s health, embryology, and reproductive science are being halted mid-stream. If this research stops now, we will feel its absence in reproductive medical care for generations.  

I’m an early-career physician-researcher, focusing on reproductive health. Both my clinical and research work are now under serious threat, and I anticipate I will lose my funding any day. I was planning to submit my first NIH independent grant this last spring; I now must pivot, either to abandoning my work or to finding other sources of funding. - Anonymous ASRM Member


ASRM’s Fighting for Our Future: Rescuing Research Campaign is a bold emergency response—designed to provide immediate bridge funding to at-risk investigators and preserve the innovation pipeline in reproductive medicine.  

Be the reason research continues

Right now, ASRM members are facing a critical funding gap that threatens the future of groundbreaking reproductive research. But together, we can overcome this challenge.

Your gift will be matched!  ASRM will match your gift dollar for dollar until we have reached $1 million.  

 Your gift—at any level—can be the difference between a study shutting down and a breakthrough being discovered.

Every dollar you give goes directly to rescuing urgent research and keeping innovation alive in reproductive medicine.

Double your donation today! Please give to keep progress moving forward

$25,000  Providing lab supplies for an early-career investigator for a year 
$60,000  Supporting a postdoctoral researcher’s salary 
$100,000  Sponsoring a small research project
$250,000  Rescuing a principal investigator and their lab team
