The Canadian National Transplant Research Program (CNTRP)

The Canadian National Transplant Research Program (CNTRP) is a nationally funded research network that develops new knowledge and health care practices to increase the availability of transplants and enhance the survival and quality of life of patients who have received transplants. The CNTRP brings together over 100 researchers, collaborators and trainees from 29 universities and institutions across Canada, representing the major health researchers from basic biomedical, clinical and policy arenas.  The CNTRP weaves the solid organ transplant, hematopoietic cell transplant and donation and critical care communities into a highly integrated national research coalition. The Program is led by Dr. Lori West, CNTRP Director at the University of Alberta, and Dr. Marie-Josée Hébert, CNTRP Co-Director at the University of Montreal. 

The CNTRP unites teams of basic and clinical scientists in organ donation, HCT, and liver, heart, lung, pancreas, and kidney transplantation, as well as health economics, legal and ethics researchers, policy experts and knowledge users into a dynamic research coalition to integrate six projects and three comprehensive supporting cores.
