HRSA's Division of Transplantation (DoT) sponsors four grant programs. While the focus of each program is different, all share the ultimate goal of increasing the number of organs for transplant.

The four programs focus on issues such as: identifying and replicating successful strategies for increasing the number of registered donors; educating the public about living donation and its risks and benefits; and improving clinical methods for taking care of deceased donors while awaiting organ recovery. The fourth program supports a center to provide travel and related expenses for living donors who otherwise could not afford to travel to recipients' transplant programs. Not all programs are offered each year.
