CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition

The Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program (CDTRP), in partnership with the Addison Fund, the Canadian Liver Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Canada, the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Paladin Labs Inc., l’Université de Montréal (UdeM), and the UHN Multi-Organ Transplant Program, would like to encourage you to apply for the 2019 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant competition. 

 

The primary area of focus for this competition is to support 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. These projects must be new stand-alone studies that align with one of the 5 Themes of the CDTRP that will be used to generate preliminary data to support further investigation. The 5 CDTRP Themes are:

 

1.  Create a culture of donation

2.  Inform universal practices for donation

3.  Engineer and allocate a better graft

4.  Tailor an optimal immune system for each patient

5.  Restore long-term health

 

The deadline for applications to the CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition is February 19, 2020.  For more information about the application process, including eligibility criteria, please visit www.cdtrp.ca/2019-cdtrp-research-grant.
