The Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program (CDTRP) is a national research network designed to increase organ and tissue donation in Canada and enhance the survival and quality life of Canadians living with a transplant. Founded at the end of April 2013, the CDTRP develops new knowledge and healthcare practices to increase the availability of transplants for Canadians in need and improve long-term outcomes for patients receiving a transplant. The CDTRP is the first program to bring together and integrate five research themes, overarching from creating a culture of donation to post-transplant long term health.
