HRSA announces shift in organ transplant program governance
The Health Resources and Services Administration Aug. 29 announced that it awarded a contract to the American Institutes for Research to support the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Board of Directors. Previously, the United Network for Organ Sharing managed the OPTN board, but the HRSA OPTN modernization plan announced last year included this separation. The OPTN board is responsible for developing national organ allocation policy.
