The Fetal Research Society (FRS) is an informal organization of biomedical scientists who are dedicated to improving the health and well being of the unborn and the newborn by advancing knowledge and improving state-of-the-art care through biological research. The function of the Society includes sponsoring scientific meetings which focus on fetal research, helping other research organizations improve their focus on the fetus, and supplying information to members and other organizations about relevant opportunities including upcoming meetings.

Society membership is open to all members of the scientific community interested in fetal biology. Research by members is conducted in a wide variety of areas including molecular regulation of gene expression, cellular biology, organ physiology, systemic and integrative physiology, and clinical trials.
