CDTRP

Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program (CDTRP) Partnerships 

The Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program (CDTRP) was founded in 2013 with the mission of harnessing the power of research and collaboration to fulfill every donation opportunity, turning transplantation into a cure. CDTRP brought together the distinct solid organ, hematopoietic cell, and donation research communities through funded research projects, and transitioned in 2018 to become a national network of infrastructure to support research. 

The CDTRP provides a platform for patient, donor, and Indigenous partners to engage in research with investigators and trainees, aiming to address the health, social, and economic barriers facing donation and transplantation in Canada. As a result, the CDTRP has become the ‘go to’ platform in Canada for donation and transplantation research.  

Through the network, CDTRP investigators bring new ideas, find collaborators and partners, and receive support to strengthen their research, increasing their success. The network has grown to include more than 300 member researchers, trainees, and patient, family and donor partners at 37 sites across Canada, with 70+ partner organizations in Canada and around the world. Indeed, connectivity is the most-valued aspect of the CDTRP: connecting researchers to each other, to the entire network of partner organizations and stakeholders, and with patient, family, and donor partners. 

We continue to partner with the CDTRP to leverage our research investment for new, ambitious, and innovative kidney donation and transplantation research.
