Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR)

What Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) does

The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) is the official national database of transplant statistics in the United States, operating under federal mandate from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SRTR is administered by the Chronic Disease Research Group of the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute (formerly the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation) and is staffed by approximately 12 personnel based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The organization tracks and reports on transplant program and organ procurement organization (OPO) performance, producing the standardized data that supports patient decision-making, professional program evaluation, and federal oversight of the national transplant system.

SRTR's core technology consists of proprietary statistical risk-adjustment methodologies applied to five performance domains: posttransplant outcomes, waiting list dynamics, organ offer acceptance, mortality after listing, and deceased donor yield. These methodologies underpin the organization's product suite, which includes Program-Specific Reports (PSR), Organ Procurement Organization Reports (OSR), the OPTN/SRTR Annual Data Report, and the Donation and Transplant System Explorer. For patients and care partners, SRTR provides decision-support tools — including kidney and liver calculators, a Personalized Decision Guide, and a Transplant Center Search — alongside an interactive system map and infographics. For researchers, SRTR distributes Standard Analysis Files (SAFs) and a Simulation Analysis tool through a formal data-request system, with authenticated access to sensitive reports available through the SRTR Secure Site.

SRTR operates as a publicly funded quasi-governmental entity with no commercial pricing model; all products and reports are provided at no charge to patients, professionals, and researchers. Its revenue derives from a single HRSA contract, which funds both registry operations and the production of federally required transplant performance reporting. The organization reaches its audiences through its patient-friendly website (srtr.hrsa.gov), social media channels (X, LinkedIn, YouTube), academic publications and presentations, and a public news and media section. SRTR holds no disclosed patents or trademarks, has no subsidiaries, and has undergone no M&A activity; its sole documented structural change is the administrative transition of its administering organization from the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation to the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute.

Direct peers

• CIBMTR (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research): CIBMTR operates a longitudinal outcomes registry for blood and marrow transplantation analogous to SRTR's transplant outcomes registry, serving as the research resource for HSCT outcomes. It is structurally the closest peer — a transplant-domain clinical outcomes registry that produces risk-adjusted analyses for clinicians, patients, and researchers.
• United States Renal Data System (USRDS): USRDS is the national registry for kidney disease and dialysis outcomes, operated under NIH/NIDDK with similar government-funded registry, risk-adjusted reporting, and Standard Analysis Files distribution. It is highly comparable in mission and operating model to SRTR for the kidney disease and ESRD population.
• Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN): OPTN is the federal contractor that operates the US organ transplant system, partnering with SRTR on data sharing and co-publishing the OPTN/SRTR Annual Data Report. While OPTN runs the operational matching system, SRTR runs the analytical registry — they are tightly coupled counterparts in the same federal transplant ecosystem.
• United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS): UNOS is the nonprofit that operates the OPTN contract and runs the US organ matching system, generating substantial transplant performance and operational data. As the data-producing counterpart to SRTR's analytical function, UNOS is the upstream data partner and a structurally comparable transplant data organization.
• National Cancer Institute - SEER Program: SEER is the NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry, a federally-funded longitudinal cancer outcomes registry producing risk-adjusted analyses, public datasets, and researcher access files. It is structurally analogous to SRTR in its disease-specific outcomes registry model.

Emerging players

• National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) / Be The Match: NMDP operates the US registry of unrelated adult volunteer donors and cord blood units, with its own outcome research and reporting. It is a transplant-adjacent donor registry with partial overlap in transplant patient/donor data collection and decision-support tools for patients.

Broad incumbents

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - National Center for Health Statistics: NCHS operates federal health statistics registries (e.g., National Death Index) that underpin transplant mortality analyses. It is a broader incumbent in federal health data aggregation with overlap in longitudinal outcome record aggregation used by SRTR's risk-adjustment work.
• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ): AHRQ is a federal HHS agency that produces healthcare quality, safety, and outcome reports and datasets across the US healthcare system. It is a broader incumbent operating in the same healthcare data analytics and reporting space, though without SRTR's transplant-specific focus.

Regional players

• Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR): CORR is the Canadian national transplant and dialysis registry operated by CIHI, producing Canadian transplant outcome statistics and reports. It mirrors SRTR's mission and operating model but serves Canada rather than the US, making it a regional functional peer.

Others

• SRTR's HRSA Parent Context - CMS Quality Reporting Programs: CMS operates quality reporting programs across Medicare that include transplant center certification requirements partly informed by SRTR data. It is thematically adjacent as a federal healthcare quality data ecosystem participant, though CMS is a regulator/buyer rather than a registry operator.
