Time to Get Organized
Millions need replacement organs, and many die before receiving one. We're going to change that. A future where new organs and tissues can be created quickly and affordably, when needed, is now within reach. We invite you to help create the New Organ Prize, the world's first major crowdfunded prize to stimulate lifesaving breakthroughs in regenerative medicine. $100K 50K 0

"As a post-transplant liver recipient and an active participant in promoting organ donation for over 24 years, I have come to realize that New Organ will be the cornerstone way of saving lives in transplantation. The New Organ Prize, where modern medicine and state-of-the-art technology merge, may be the only way we will truly and significantly impact transplantation. We can eliminate both the organ shortage and the need for organ donations."
"People are often amazed to learn I donated a kidney. They think I'm automatically a good person, which makes me uncomfortable. I simply did what felt right. With the strides in biotechnology, the printing of organs from our own cells to end the need for organ donors may be just around the corner. It is up to us to make it happen as soon as possible. I'm grateful for the New Organ Prize and its dedication to a solution, and contribute happily."
"New Organ exists to bring about organs grown from patients, for patients, eliminating the need for waiting lists and the sacrifice of families and living donors. I believe the New Organ Prize shifts the paradigm of transplantation and can lead to doing away with transplant waiting lists once and for all."
"Manufacturing complex organs in the lab is an achievable goal if we can continue to inspire great science and great scientists. How fast this exciting field can move forward depends heavily on getting more people involved and more research funds dedicated to the task. The New Organ Prize is a powerful focal point around which scientific talent can rally to achieve incredible outcomes."
"Tissue engineering and organ printing are coming of age. It's time for a prize competition that hastens the technological breakthroughs to remove one of the darkest shadows today: the worldwide organ shortage. We need strong incentives and public support. New Organ creates both."
