Women in Transplantation (WIT), a Special Initiative of The Transplantation Society, is delighted to announce the winners of our Research Grants for 2026.
These include the WIT Research Fellowship in Gender and Sex Award winner, the WIT Research Grant for Projects on Gender and Sex in Transplantation (LMIC) winner, and the WIT Research Grant for Projects on Gender and Sex and Solid Organ Transplantation amongst Indigenous Populations winner.
This is the sixth year that we are able to offer the Research Fellowship award, which will support the next generation of scientists, furthering our understanding of the importance of sex and gender in transplantation. This is a growing field of interest and the more we learn the closer we are to applying these findings to clinical care to benefit patients and donors.
This initiative was made possible with support from Sanofi.
WIT also wish to take this opportunity to announce the winner of the Women in Transplantation Research Grant for faculty working in low or middle income (LMIC) countries. This is the fourth year which we have been able to fund this grant, which we hope will continue to really make a difference to transplantation in LMIC and to research capacity in these countries.
For the second year now, we are proud to be able to fund a Women in Transplantation Research Grant for Projects in Gender and Sex and SOT amongst Indigenous Populations.
This initiative was made possible with support from Hansa.
We look forward to collaborating with these teams, and to learning from the findings of their exciting research projects.
