description
The Roche Organ Transplantation Research Foundation (ROTRF) wishes to advance the science of solid organ transplantation in order to further improve transplant results. The foundation will support research into solid organ transplantation, particularly where there is unmet medical need. The trustees hope that the funds available through the foundation will permit transplantation researchers to develop new technologies and areas of interest, and will encourage researchers in other areas to study transplantation problems.
The following list demonstrates the types of areas that could be funded: - Improvement of long-term graft survival and prevention of chronic organ dysfunction - Relevant immune recognition, regulation, and effector mechanisms - Histocompatibility - Inflammation and tissue injury in transplantation - Development of new agents - Prospective and specific analysis of human organ transplant populations - Induction of tolerance - New clinical trial methods and surrogate end-points - Tissue injury and organ preservation relevant to transplantation - Cell or tissue transplantation relevant to organ transplantation
The foundation’s primary focus is solid organ transplantation, but the foundation may also consider supporting research into other areas if they have implications for solid organ transplantation research. The foundation may also consider providing limited support for unique initiatives such as international databases of general interest to transplantation researchers.
The maximum grant amount to be awarded will be 300,000 Swiss Francs distributed over three years.
The foundation provides operating grants to academic staff in universities, transplant centres, and research institutes.
