American Society for Reproductive Medicine

[2] An associated special interest group, the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), maintains a national registry for tracking IVF attempts and outcomes.

[5][6] The society hosts an annual scientific congress, as well as courses, seminars, workshops and publications.

SART was founded in 1985 by Alan DeCherney and Richard Marrs, with the goal of establishing a national registry to track IVF attempts and outcomes.

As of 2014, 375 member clinics were registered with SART in the United States, accounting for 91% of all reported ART cycles.

SART's aim is to “promote and advance the standards for the practice of assisted reproductive technology to the benefit of our patients, members, and society at large.” Its committees use registry information to compile measures clinical effectiveness, safety and harm, and quality of care; work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure accurate data reporting to CORS and NASS, and set advertising guidelines for clinics and practices.
