    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has announced the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program (LODRP) to mitigate financial barriers for living organ donors. The program aims to reimburse eligible donors for qualified expenses such as lost wages, transportation, lodging, meals, and dependent care. An estimated funding of $7.5 million is available for the 2025 fiscal year, with expectations of one cooperative agreement awarded for up to three years. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations, such as educational institutions, nonprofits, and government entities, while individuals cannot apply directly. Applications must be submitted by April 18, 2025, with an expected award date of August 1, 2025. The LODRP prioritizes supporting historically underserved communities and partnering with programs dedicated to educating about living organ donation. Evaluative criteria for applications will focus on identified needs in the organ transplantation ecosystem, the effectiveness of proposed solutions, and the organizational capabilities to manage budget and performance outcomes. This initiative reflects HRSA's commitment to improving health equity and access to quality health services through support for living organ donors.
