SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Objective

Section 371 of the Public Health

Service (PHS) Act authorizes a program

of grants and special projects for the

purpose of increasing the number of

organ donors.

The principal purpose of this grant

program is to increase the availability of

donor organs in this country. In past

years, the program has attempted to

further this objective primarily through

support of public and professional

education projects. This year, the grant

program will focus on increasing the

number of organ donors from non-donor

hospitals that have characteristics

similar to donor hospitals. Research

conducted by Johns Hopkins School of

Hygiene and Public Health, under

contract to HRSA’s Division of Organ

Transplantation, indicates that

approximately 850 hospitals with organ

donor capability did not have a solid

organ donor from their hospital in any

of the years 1991, 1992, or 1993. A

hospital was considered to have donor

capability if it had a staff neurologist, an

anesthesiologist, an operating room, and

an intensive care unit. These services

were considered essential for the

identification and determination of

brain death, and the maintenance and

procurement of organs. An additional

criterion was bed capacity of 50 beds or

more.

In 1992, 29,499 patients were on the

transplant waiting list. That same year,
