About CNTRP
\n<\/strong>The Canadian National Transplant Research Program (CNTRP)<\/a> is a\u00a0national research network designed to increase organ and tissue donation in Canada and enhance the survival and quality of life of Canadians who receive transplants.<\/p>\n

Announced at the end of April 2013, the CNTRP develops new knowledge and health care practices to increase the availability of transplants for Canadians in need and improve longterm outcomes for patients receiving a transplant. Until now, researchers have worked within their own provinces and clinical domains. The CNTRP is the first program to bring together and integrate solid organ transplant, bone marrow transplant and donation and critical care research communities from across the country.<\/p>\n

The program is led by Drs. Lori West at the Alberta Transplant Institute at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and Marie-Jos\u00e9e H\u00e9bert at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al and connects more than 200 scientists, students, collaborators, patient partners and knowledge-users at 30\u00a0sites throughout Canada to carry out research and develop resources to increase access to transplantation and improve survival and quality of life of transplant patients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
