Any institution federal funds can be cut off if they engage in stem cell research...
much like all states receive federal hiway funds and the state can be cut off if it does not follow federal guidelines or rules. So this rules out a lot of hospitals and universities. California passed state laws to allow stem cell research in facilities that use only private and/or Calif state monies. Obama tried to break the impass with an Executive Order, but now it's again in the courts.

The federal ruling under Bush, was they could only use preexisting embryonic stem cell lines, no new ones could be added. Obama eased up on that restriction, but two researchers that were working on adult stem cell research, and feared they would get less funding if the embryonic research expanded, filed suit on the grounds it offended their religious tenets.
When a couple have to use invitro fertilization, they harvest several eggs and attempt to fertilize them all. They then choose one or more that look viable, and implant it/them back in the womb. In octomoms case, they implanted all eight. The left over eggs are trashed, because of the federal ruling against new lines. The law requires the couple's permission to use the eggs for research, or anything but disposal, but the fundamentalists are still bitching the lab/hospital might steal somebody's unused eggs.

As I understand it, such institutions wouldn't just lose funding for that particular arm of research; but would lose all state funding for their institution. Very few institutions are likely to be willing to lose all that funding for other research in order to be able to research stem cells.
