Translational Transplantation Tolerance Cooperative Study Group

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is seeking to support the Translational Transplantation Tolerance Cooperative Study Group (TTTCSG) program. The goal of this program is to facilitate clinical translation of safe and effective transplant tolerance regimens that achieve long-term graft survival without the need for life-long administration of immunosuppressive drugs. This program will enable the establishment of a multi-center, cooperative program dedicated to developing, optimizing, and evaluating approaches to induce and maintain immune tolerance to allogeneic transplants. • The program will support the development of translationally relevant models to test transplant tolerance regimens. • The program will enable the establishment of a cooperative study group to facilitate collaboration and resource sharing among researchers. • The program will support the evaluation of approaches to induce and maintain immune tolerance to allogeneic transplants. • The program will provide funding for research projects that aim to develop and optimize transplant tolerance regimens. • The program will support the dissemination of research findings and the translation of research results into clinical practice.
