National Disease Research Interchange

Thank you for being a part of the NDRI Community. NDRI’s Board of Directors and leadership team has made the decision to postpone our 40th Anniversary Service to Science Dinner in Philadelphia, PA on November 12, 2020, due to growing uncertainty surrounding the current and evolving COVID19 outbreak.

NDRI is proud to announce the second annual NDRI & AOPO Empowering Research and Discovery Award will be presented virtually at the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations - AOPO the week of June 22.

This award recognizes an organ procurement organization committed to advancing research. Nominations will be accepted through June 1, 2020. The NDRI and AOPO Research and Discovery Award will be presented to an organ procurement organization for their work with NDRI and commitment to research broadly. Nominate your OPO here:

In this special edition of NDRI's Research Nexus, learn about the valuable partnerships and programs that have shaped NDRI's 40-year-old mission, how we have grown from supporting diabetes research to serving researchers around the world with tissues and organs for research on multiple diseases, and our plans to celebrate this year's milestone. 

The National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI) has been awarded a research grant of $275,000 to continue to support efforts of the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Office of Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aimed at furthering the research of the causes and behavioral associations with individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). NDRI has been consistently supported by the NIH to support Autism research since 2016.
