Provide global leadership in transplantation through advancement of science and clinical practice, scientific communication, continuing education of members, and guidance on the ethical practice of transplantation.
The Transplantation Society uses grants to reinforce transplantation science, clinical practice, and ethical guidance through a mix of research awards, congress support, and international program development. In 2025, its largest reported grants were four $25,000 research awards to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, showing a clear emphasis on named institutions working in transplant research. The society also funds field-building programs rather than only stand-alone research projects. A $17,390 project collaboration with the International Society of Nephrology aligns with its Sister Transplant Centers program, which is designed to help create new kidney transplant centers and strengthen existing programs in emerging countries. That combination of awards points to a funder supporting both scholarship and transplant capacity. Its broader grantmaking sits alongside mission work in transplantation science, clinical communication, continuing education, xenotransplantation, infectious disease, and transplant ethics and policy. Through prizes, mentee-mentor awards, and congress-related support, the society repeatedly funds professional development for transplant clinicians and researchers, not individuals outside the field.
In transplantation research, the society backed several university and hospital recipients with $25,000 awards in 2025, including the Regents of the University of Minnesota, the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Those grants were listed as research support, matching the society’s focus on transplantation science and clinical practice. Capacity building is another visible thread. The International Society of Nephrology received $17,390 for project collaboration, reflecting the society’s program model for developing transplant infrastructure through partnerships. The society also supports professional recognition and training through awards tied to congress participation and investigator development. Its active programs include the Thomas Starzl Innovation Award, International Basic and Translational Science Mentee–Mentor Awards, Young Investigator Awards, and Congress Scientific Awards, all of which center on scientific contribution, mentorship, and early-career development.

Recent grants are clustered at a $25,000 level, with a fifth award at $17,390. That pattern suggests relatively standardized award sizes for research support and collaboration. The latest grants on file are concentrated in 2025. The grant structure mixes competitive awards, congress-linked support, and collaborative program funding. Several active programs accept unsolicited nominations or applications, including innovation, mentee-mentor, and scientific awards, while the transplant-center development programs are partnership-based rather than open calls. The organization is a public charity, funds individuals directly: false, and makes no program-related investments. The recipient list provided shows repeated institutional rather than individual grantmaking.
The visible grant record is entirely U.S.-based, with 5 grants to U.S. recipients and 0% of grants in the headquarters state. The recipient institutions in the recent list are in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Washington, D.C. area institutional networks are not shown, but the named organizations point to academic medical centers in major transplant hubs. Although the society’s program descriptions are global and international, the grants shown here landed in the United States.
Its funding covers transplantation research, congress participation support, mentee-mentor awards, young investigator development, and transplant-center capacity building. The active programs also include awards for innovation, basic and translational science, and collaboration on kidney and liver transplant program development.
