These awards recognize individuals who have made a major international impact in the field of transplantation. The awards are given out at each International Congress of The Transplantation Society.

The Women in Transplantation Steering Committee have created the Woman Leader in Transplantation Award to recognize a woman who has helped further the field of transplantation through research, policies, leadership, initiatives or other regarded contributions. The Unsung Hero Award will be presented to one woman who has had an extraordinary impact in transplantation through community service, volunteering, mentorship or other community based activity. Both Awards are presented during the presidential address at the TTS International Congress.

The Young Investigator Awards are given to recipients who have submitted abstracts to the International Congress of The Transplantation Society and received the highest scores from an international panel of reviewers.

The Transplantation Society (TTS), along with collaboration of National and International Societies, acknowledges the contribution of basic science to the field of Transplantation.

The Basic and Translational Science Committee of The Transplantation Society (TTS) will award the first two new prestigious annual prizes to the best basic science and translational science papers published in Transplantation.

The Transplantation Society provides travel grants for young investigators and for those with financial difficulties who are members of The Transplantation Society.

TTS provides funding for individual investigators to support their research in transplantation.

Call For Proposals is announced Q1 of each year

The ISN and TTS join forces to support the training of young physicians from low resource areas receiving hands-on training in advanced host institutions to acquire state of-the-art knowledge in transplantation. The ultimate goal of such training is to improve the transplantation standards in their home countries upon their return and become leaders in their fields.

The training focuses on providing the skills and knowledge specifically required by the home institution. ISN-TTS Fellowship trainings can be long (6-12 months) or short term (3-6 months).

I am Nube Siguenza Zeas, an Ecuadorian nephrologist. My professional goal is to specialize in the field of renal transplantation, encompassing both living and deceased donors. My dream is to make a significant contribution to the care of the population affected by end-stage renal disease. I am convinced that the ISN fellowship program will provide me with the invaluable opportunity to acquire the skills, experiences, and knowledge necessary to carry out this work effectively. With this training, I hope to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those suffering from renal illness.
