Since 2012 the CDTRP has supported research and innovation that addresses barriers within the fields of donation and transplantation, with the ultimate goal of advancing long-term health outcomes and quality of life for Canadian transplant patients. The CDTRP Research Innovation Grant competition supports new peer-reviewed pilot research projects that align with CDTRP’s One-Transplant-for-Life vision, which is to fulfill every donor opportunity and turn transplant into a cure. This year’s results were exceptional for the RI-MUHC, as three of the four grants issued in the Research Innovation category were awarded to proposals from our research community.

Congratulations to the awardees!
