Serving the Research and Education Communities

IIAM has a dual mission
- To give a willing donor the option of contributing organs and tissues or to offer a Gift of Body / Whole Body Donation for use in medical research and education and
- To facilitate the recovery and placement of donated, non-transplantable human organs and tissues for medical research and education
Through an extensive national network of organ and tissue recovery programs, IIAM has access to thousands of donated organs and tissues, both normal and diseased. IIAM's Organ Division receives referrals of non-transplantable organs for research from organ donors for transplantation. IIAM's Anatomical Division facilitates whole body donation for medical education and research through our partnership with Platinum Training. Click here for press release.
IIAM places donor organs and tissues with nationally recognized academic, governmental, pharmaceutical and private research institutions, medical schools and other qualified healthcare programs. IIAM accommodates customized requests from its research clients, and works closely with its recovery partners to provide high-quality tissues.
All recipients of donor tissues must complete an IIAM Biomaterial Transfer Agreement and receive approval from IIAM's Application Review Committee.
Download the IIAM Biomaterial Transfer Agreement (PDF) for Non-Distributors "Non-Distributors" are researchers who will use the tissue for in-house research only, and who may utilize contract services to assist in their ability to perform said studies but do not, at any time, lose control of the tissue.
Download the IIAM Biomaterial Transfer Agreement (PDF) for Distributors "Distributors" are researchers who will process the tissues into some other form, and distribute the newly created product for a service fee.
Upon completion of the application please mail it to:

The completed Biomaterial Transfer Agreement will be submitted to IIAM's Application Review Committee. The approval process takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks and can be expedited if necessary. Following approval, researchers are notified and offered to be immediately included into IIAM's placement rotation.
Testing
Serological testing for infectious diseases is performed by CLIA-certified laboratories on all donors prior to tissue distribution.
