NASEM Report
Resources
A recent report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has made several recommendations to address racial and other disparities, reduce the nonuse of donated organs, and reduce or eliminate variations in the performance of transplant centers and OPOs. Here, you'll find a list of resources The Alliance has produced and/or curated to assist in your response to report recommendations.
