The Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program is a national research network designed to increase organ and tissue donation in Canada and enhance the survival and quality of life of Canadians living with a transplant. Since 2013, the CDTRP has developed new knowledge and health care practices to increase the availability of transplants for Canadians in need and improve long-term outcomes for patients receiving a transplant. More than 200 investigators, students, collaborators, patient partners and knowledge-users from over 30 different sites across Canada carry out research and develop resources to increase access to transplantation and improve survival and quality of life. The CDTRP is an integrated professional donation and transplant research community, complete with the collaboration of patients and their families across the country committed to making this happen.
