 The International Donation and Transplantation Legislative and Policy Forum has released a set of recommendations to guide the development of a robust deceased donor research framework. The recommendations focus on PFD and public involvement in research, donor, surrogate, and recipient consent within a research ethics framework and data management. Additionally, the forum recommends the creation of a centrally administered donor research oversight committee, a single specialist institutional review board, and a research oversight body to facilitate coordination and ethical oversight of organ donor intervention research.
