This report summarizes a national forum on donor registries convened by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Office of Special Program (OSP), Division of Transplantation (DoT) as part of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services' Gift of Life Donation Initiative. The goals of the conference, held on November 29th and 30th, 2001. were to develop guidelines for successful donor registries; recommend options for a federal role in facilitating effective donor registries; identify strategies to promote commitment and involvement among government entities, organ procurement agencies, and tissue and eye banks; and inform ongoing policy making regarding donation.
