The CDTRP 2021 Patient, Family and Donor Research Forum was a collaborative success<\/h4>\n

This CDTRP\u2019s virtual 2021 Research Forum was a huge success: it provided\u00a0an excellent opportunity to inform and advance collaborations between investigators and patients, family, and donors as active contributors to the success of various projects. About 190 participants from six different countries<\/strong> registered for this Forum.<\/p>\n

The objectives of this Research Forum were three-fold:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To showcase the work of senior and junior researchers that has evolved with the addition of a patient, family, donor perspective.<\/li>\n
  2. To help senior and junior researchers who are seeking live feedback on their work from patients,\u00a0families,\u00a0or donors.<\/li>\n
  3. To support patients,\u00a0families,\u00a0and donors to develop PFD-led research projects or ideas of how PFDs can be included in ongoing transplant and donation initiatives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
