Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research

The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) and the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) are pivotal organizations in the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation.

CIBMTR operates as a global research network dedicated to advancing the science and clinical practices surrounding blood and marrow transplants. This network plays a critical role in collecting and analyzing data to improve patient outcomes, increase survival, enrich the quality of life for patients, and drive innovations in treatment. All transplantation centers in the United States are required to report data for every allogeneic transplant performed; autologous transplant data and cellular therapy infusion data is submitted voluntarily. Data is collected via reporting forms as well as registry specific software, supported by forms instruction manuals.Complementing the CIBMTR’s research efforts, the NMDP focuses on facilitating access to bone marrow and stem cell transplants. It is renowned for managing the Be the Match^Ⓡ registry, which connects patients in need of a transplant with potential donors.

CIBMTR has many benefits for hospital participants, some of which include:

Data Access and Analysis

Hospitals gain access to a comprehensive database of transplant outcomes, enabling them to benchmark their results against national standards and identify areas of improvement.

• Access to HCT outcomes data on more than 500,000 transplant patients
• Access to the Research Sample Repository, containing close to 60,000 related and unrelated paired transplant recipient/donor samples

Research Collaboration

Participation allows hospitals to collaborate on cutting-edge research projects, contributing to advancements in treatment protocols and outcomes.

Educational Resources

CIBMTR provides educational materials, training, and workshops for healthcare professionals, helping them stay informed about the latest developments and best practices in blood and marrow transplantation.
