Leftover Embryos

I apologize in advance if this is not the appropriate place to post this and/or ask this question.
I have 2 frozen embryos. We have decided that we will not be using them (I did several transfers and they didn't work and we cannot afford to do more transfers. Sadly, my body just doesn't respond well to IVF).
My question is, does anyone know of a place I can donate them to for scientific research? And/or other options since we have made the very hard decision not to use them.

several failed cycles on clomid and lose dose injectibles,
IUI #1 2009 - BFN
IUI #2 2009 - BFP - boy/girl twins born at 31 weeks. IVF #1= BFN; FET #1 = c/p; FET #2 = c/p, FET #3 = negative, FET #4 = positive, baby stillborn at 24 weeks.
Re: Leftover Embryos
As for scientific research, have you asked your clinic? Any facility that stores embryos probably knows where they can be donated. If your clinic doesn't know, call other local clinics.
Edited to add-- I'm so sorry for the losses you've experienced.
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
