Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) intends to stimulate investigators to search for barriers to organ and tissue donation. This may include studying individual attitudes, beliefs and behaviors towards organ and tissue transplantation, as well as the need for organ transplantation, among diverse and underserved populations and rural communities. The grant will provide support for testing various hypotheses on the barriers, and facilitate development of programs in the diverse and underserved communities to enhance their understanding of the need, risks and benefits of organ and tissue donation. Successful approaches should ultimately lead to increase in the number of diverse and underserved participating in living and deceased organ donation.
