Opportunity Summary:
Clinical Interventions to Increase Organ Procurement (HRSA-11-025) was a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to fund practical, highly promising research that could be put into place to improve the clinical management of deceased organ donors. The central problem the opportunity targets is the persistent gap between the number of patients who need transplants and the limited supply of transplantable organs from deceased donors. The program is built on the idea that how deceased donors are medically managed in the hours and days around donor identification and organ recovery can directly affect how many organs can be recovered and successfully transplanted, how well those organs function, and how recipients do after transplant.
The focus of the funding is specifically on implementation of interventions that strengthen donor care, not simply describing the problem. In other words, the intent is to support projects that take evidence-informed or strongly promising clinical practices and apply them in real donor management settings, such as organ procurement organizations and hospitals, where improvements could translate into measurable changes. HRSA emphasizes outcomes like better organ quality, a higher number of organs transplanted per donor (OTPD), and improved post-transplant recipient outcomes. The underlying expectation is that donor management is a modifiable clinical process, and that systematic improvements in hemodynamic support, ventilation, endocrine management, infection control, and other critical care practices could increase both the quantity and usability of recovered organs.
Funding was offered as grants under the health activity category, with an estimated total program funding level of $1.8 million and an expected three awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible organizations to participate. The program falls under CFDA 93.134, Grants to Increase Organ Donations, signaling that it is part of a broader federal effort to strengthen organ donation and transplantation outcomes.
Eligibility was limited to public or private nonprofit entities, including federally designated organ procurement organizations (OPOs), emergency medical systems, and donor and/or transplant hospitals. Faith-based and community organizations could apply as long as they otherwise met eligibility requirements. The statutory authority cited is Section 377A(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 274f-1(b)), aligning the opportunity with federal responsibilities related to organ donation infrastructure and performance.
Key administrative details place the opportunity in early 2011: it was posted February 1, 2011, created February 15, 2011, and closed March 31, 2011, with an archive date of May 30, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the HRSA Call Center (callcenter@hrsa.gov) and the HRSA support phone line. The full announcement was made available through HRSA’s grants portal link provided in the notice.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal investment in improving the clinical care pathway for deceased donors so that more organs can be recovered and transplanted successfully, and so recipient outcomes can improve. It prioritizes real-world clinical process improvements in the donor management environment, with clear performance-oriented endpoints such as OTPD and organ function after transplant.
