ISN-TTS Sister Transplant Centers (STC)
The program is a joint partnership between ISN and The Transplantation Society (TTS) to help establish new kidney transplant centers and develop existing kidney transplant programs in emerging countries. Please note that the program is open to all ISN and TTS members.
This initiative fosters partnerships between experienced transplant centers in the developed world (Supporting Centers or SCs) and new and developing transplant centers (Emerging Centers or ECs) in low-resource regions, providing a framework and funding for up to six years of collaboration if adequate progress is made.
After six- years of improvement on the program, graduated centers are encouraged to support a third center within their region and therefore sustain the impact of their training and help other centers to develop.
Please read the Guidelines carefully here to ensure that all criteria are met before applying here. The deadline to apply is October 1.
Applications are reviewed by ISN staff and the ISN-TTS Sister Transplant Centers Committee.
This program is a joint initiative of the ISN and the TTS. If you would like to support a Sister Transplant Center, please contact us via the contact section below.
For all inquiries on the STC Program, please contact the Sister Transplant Center Coordinator at STC@theisn.org.
The STC program is supported by the ISN-TTS STC Committee.
