The mission of the Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State (FACTS) is to advance forensic anthropology and related sciences through world-class education, research, service, and outreach. FACTS is a multifaceted center that encompasses a body donation program, the outdoor Forensic Anthropology Research Facility (FARF), the Osteological Research and Processing Laboratory (ORPL), and the Grady Early Building, which houses the Grady Early Forensic Anthropology Research Laboratory (GEFARL).

The gift of one’s body and organs is an invaluable contribution to the education of forensic anthropologists and, ultimately, the advancement of science. The Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State accepts body donations under the Universal Anatomical Gift Act for scientific research purposes. Your whole body donation makes cutting-edge research in forensic sciences and biological anthropology possible. Your gift supports scientific research, training, and professional education.

All transportation costs and arrangements outside of 100 miles of San Marcos are the responsibility of the donor or their Next of Kin.
