Opportunity Summary:
The Clinical Interventions to Increase Organ Procurement (CIOP) Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-173) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to expand the supply of transplantable organs from deceased donors in the United States. The program focuses on helping eligible organizations put into practice and carefully evaluate clinical strategies that can measurably improve how donor candidates are found, how donor organs are assessed, how donor physiological stability is maintained, and how procurement processes are optimized. The emphasis is on interventions that are not only promising in theory but strong enough in design and results to become model approaches that others can replicate.
A central theme of the opportunity is improving the full clinical pathway that determines whether a potential donor becomes an actual organ donor and whether organs recovered are ultimately usable for transplantation. Projects may address donors after neurological death (DND) and donors after cardiac death (DCD), including both controlled and uncontrolled DCD contexts. HRSA also signals openness to hypothesis-driven testing of emerging technologies, as long as the projects are built around clear research questions and can demonstrate whether the new approach truly improves outcomes compared to standard practice.
Methodological rigor is a non-negotiable requirement. Applicants are expected to propose projects with strong evaluation components capable of determining effectiveness, not just describing implementation. In practical terms, that means a project should be able to show evidence of impact such as increases in donor identification rates, improvements in organ evaluation and acceptance, better donor management and stability, increased organs recovered per donor, and ultimately higher rates of successful transplantation from deceased donors. The goal is not simply to recover more organs, but to increase the number of organs that are effectively transplanted.
The opportunity was posted on January 5, 2009, with an application closing date of April 8, 2009, and an archive date of June 7, 2009. HRSA anticipated making 4 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make participation more feasible for organizations that have limited ability to contribute non-federal dollars.
Eligibility is tied to Section 377A(b) of the Public Health Service Act. HRSA indicates that the Secretary may award peer-reviewed grants to public and nonprofit private entities, including eligible Tribes, Tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. The announcement notes that additional clarification is available in the full eligibility text within the complete funding notice.

Clinical Interventions to Increase Organ Procurement (CIOP) Grant Program (HRSA 09-173) - FAQs
What is the CIOP Grant Program (HRSA 09-173)?
The Clinical Interventions to Increase Organ Procurement (CIOP) Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its purpose is to expand the supply of transplantable organs from deceased donors in the United States by supporting clinical interventions that can be put into practice and carefully evaluated.
What is the main goal of this grant opportunity?
The main goal is to increase the number of organs from deceased donors that are ultimately usable and successfully transplanted. The program focuses on improving the full clinical pathway from identifying donor candidates through organ recovery and transplantation outcomes.
What kinds of projects does HRSA want to fund under this program?
HRSA is looking for projects that implement and rigorously evaluate clinical strategies that can measurably improve:
- How donor candidates are found and identified
- How donor organs are assessed and evaluated
- How donor physiological stability is maintained (donor management)
- How procurement processes are optimized
Does the program focus only on implementing interventions, or also on evaluating them?
Both, but the evaluation component is essential. Applicants are expected to propose projects that do more than describe implementation. The projects must include strong evaluation methods capable of determining whether the intervention is effective.
What does HRSA mean by "methodological rigor"?
Methodological rigor is described as a non-negotiable requirement. Based on the notice, this means the project design and evaluation should be strong enough to determine effectiveness and produce results that could support the intervention becoming a model approach others can replicate.
What types of donors can projects address?
Projects may address donors after neurological death (DND) and donors after cardiac death (DCD). The opportunity also includes both controlled and uncontrolled DCD contexts.
Are emerging technologies allowed as part of proposed interventions?
Yes. HRSA indicates openness to hypothesis-driven testing of emerging technologies, as long as the project is built around clear research questions and can demonstrate whether the new approach improves outcomes compared to standard practice.
What outcomes or impacts should a project be able to demonstrate?
Projects are expected to generate evidence of impact such as:
- Increases in donor identification rates
- Improvements in organ evaluation and acceptance
- Better donor management and physiological stability
- Increased organs recovered per donor
- Higher rates of successful transplantation from deceased donors
The emphasis is not only on recovering more organs, but on increasing the number of organs that are effectively transplanted.
How many awards did HRSA anticipate making?
HRSA anticipated making 4 awards under this opportunity.
What was the estimated total funding amount for the program?
The estimated total program funding amount was $1,000,000.

What makes an intervention a good fit for this program?
Based on the description, a good fit is an intervention that is promising but also strong enough in design and results to potentially become a model approach that others can replicate, with a clear ability to measure whether it improves outcomes compared to standard practice.
Is the program focused on increasing organ recovery or increasing successful transplantation?
The program emphasizes increasing successful transplantation from deceased donors. It specifically notes that the goal is not simply to recover more organs, but to increase the number of organs that are effectively transplanted.
