We are delighted to announce that we will continue to offer a grant to faculty working in low or middle income countries. This grant will allow transplant professionals working in low and middle income countries to work with an experienced mentor from among the WIT membership to address an important question within their own unique context. We hope that this award will spur exciting international collaborations and build more research capacity in lower resource settings.
