Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program (LODRP)

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is seeking applicants for the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program (LODRP), which will provide means-tested reimbursement of expenses such as lost wages, transportation, meals, and dependent care to living organ donors. The program aims to reduce financial disincentives and increase access to living organ donation. Eligible applicants include public and private organizations, nonprofits, for-profits, small businesses, and tribal entities. Applications will be evaluated on factors like program design, organizational capacity, data collection and reporting, and collaboration with the LODRP public education award recipient. The application deadline is April 18, 2025, and a technical assistance webinar is scheduled for March 24, 2025.

HRSA plans to award one cooperative agreement for up to $7.5 million per year over a 3-year period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The recipient will work closely with HRSA to process reimbursements, collect program data, evaluate outcomes, and coordinate with the public education award recipient to promote awareness, particularly among medically underserved communities.
