LETTER OF INTENT
FOR PROJECT GRANT SUPPORT

The ROTRF is committed to funding a broad range of transplantation-related research, with the ultimate aim of improving long-term outcomes for people with organ transplants. Our priority is to support clinically oriented research projects, such as observational clinical studies or studies that use human transplant samples for laboratory examinations. To be considered for a grant award, applications should have demonstrable applicability to human organ transplantation.

Investigators working in areas such as antibody-mediated rejection and antibody formation, graft pathology during rejection events, histocompatibility, infectious agents, and disease phenotypes in transplant patients are encouraged to apply. The Trustees will also consider funding studies that investigate transplant populations, ethics, organ preservation and allocation, and health care delivery. Furthermore, the ROTRF will welcome research in new emerging technologies that examine the pathogenesis of human disease states in organ transplantation.

Only established, faculty member of academic staff at universities, transplant centres and research institutes are eligible as Principal Applicants.
