$1,700,000
Justification:
As of September 2025, there were over 100,000 patients on the organ transplant wait list waiting for a kidney and/or liver. HRSA LODRP provides financial assistance to people who wish to donate their kidney and/or part of their liver, but who might otherwise not be able to donate due to financial hardship, thereby increasing access to life-saving organs. The supplemental funding will provide the cooperative agreement recipient with flexibility to make programmatic changes to better address living organ donors' needs (for example, increasing the reimbursement cap for living organ donors with longer recovery times) and accommodate the anticipated increase in applicants to the program as a result of expanded outreach by the Public Education for Living Organ Donation Reimbursement cooperative agreement recipient.
HRSA awarded the sole LODRP cooperative agreement recipient—Mayo Clinic Arizona—$1.7 million as noted in Table 1.
