Zika Virus Pilot Project

This is a request for OMB approval for a data collection form to be used as part of a pilot project regarding Zika virus (ZIKV) screening for deceased potential organ donors. Participating Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) will be asked to submit testing results for deceased potential donors who may have been exposed to ZIKV. Data for the ZIKV pilot project will be collected from those OPOs who agree to participate in the pilot project. This data collection will be analyzed to determine the potential effect of making available screening tests for ZIKV, when appropriate, to improve transplant safety, and to inform future OPTN policy regarding testing of solid organ donors for ZIKV.

The latest form for Zika Virus Pilot Project expires 2021-09-30 and can be found here.
