Providing Hope. Delivering a Cure.

Every patient deserves the best chance for treatment. At the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), we’re working to provide hope and deliver a cure to all patients in need of a life-saving transplant by:

• Recruiting and supporting donors: To connect patients with donors, we manage the largest and most diverse registry —nearly 7 million marrow donors and nearly 70,000 cord blood units. Donors can turn to our Donor Advocacy Program for support throughout the donation process.
• Supporting patients: To help patients access treatment, we offer financial support and educational resources.
• Educating doctors: Referring physicians can turn to us for information about transplant advances, caring for transplant patients and the importance of timely referral for transplant.
• Advancing science: Our research programs have advanced the science of bone marrow and cord blood transplant, from better matching the right donor to the right patient to improving post-transplant treatment.
