NATIONAL MARROW DONOR PROGRAM

Research:research innovations are critical to expanding treatment to more patients and improving outcomes. Each year, the nmdp foundation is proud to invest in research through:the nmdp amy strelzer manasevit research program: the amy program funds early career investigators focused on advances in the prevention and treatment of post-cell therapy complications (e.g., graft-versus-host -disease and infection).in 2024, we funded the work of 14 amy scholars. Amy scholars have gone on to become leaders in the field, pursuing scientific advances that help nmdp patients live longer, healthier lives. Since 1998, the nmdp foundation has invested nearly $12.5 million to help launch the careers of 51 young physician-scientists. After receiving their nmdp amy scholar award, 51 young physician-scientists have gone on to win more than $250 million in subsequent government grant funding to pursue the discoveries to help patients live longer, healthier lives after cell therapy. Today, the amy strelzer manasevit research program for the study of post-cell therapy complications is one of the largest and most coveted fellowships in the field of transplantation.nmdp donor for all: this series of transformational multi-center clinical trials are testing a new transplant protocol aimed at making mismatched donor transplants safer and more effective, with the goal of expanding access to transplant to thousands of patients who lack a fully matched donor.anthony nolan trust: provide support to the anthony nolan research institute to continue development and maintenance of an hla class i and ii sequence database and provision of hla class i and ii sequence information.cibmtr (the center for international blood and marrow transplant research) a partnership between the medical college of wisconsin and nmdp is the leading hub for transplant and cell therapy research. The nmdp foundation helps to fund various other innovative research studies led and managed by the cibmtr.
