Organ Availability Committee

The Organ Availability Committee considers issues related to organ procurement for the primary purpose of increasing the number of organs available for transplantation. It develops the evidence-basis for practices that promote the recovery and transplantation of more organs from each donor and more organs with good function. It makes its findings available to other committees and to professional and public audiences as appropriate to foster awareness, change behaviors, and increase the number of effective organ transplants.

*Note: Meeting summaries are prepared for each meeting of the full committee. Reports to the board are prepared for specific meetings of the board of directors. They contain documentation of all committee activity since the previous report to the board and also will include any recommendations that the board is requested to consider at that meeting. Certain recommendations may have been accepted, declined, or modified by the Board of Directors; therefore, please review the Executive Summaries of the board of directors' meetings to confirm the status of all committee proposals.

Meeting summaries and reports to the board remain posted here for the previous two calendar years. For older documents, please contact the UNOS staff liaison listed above. Additionally, report exhibits may be requested from the liaison as well.
