Support organization
NMDP offers several need-based grants before and after blood or marrow transplant, for graft-versus-host disease treatment, clinical-trial travel, and certain transplant-related financial crises. Pediatric B-ALL is relevant only when the child is actively being treated and meets a specific NMDP transplant or blood-cancer clinical-trial pathway; the grants are not general leukemia assistance. Household income is generally required to be below 350% of the federal poverty level, with additional transplant, donor, timing, trial, or crisis criteria depending on the grant. A transplant-center or clinical-trial team member, usually a social worker, or an NMDP patient navigator determines the relevant grant and applies through NMDP's secure platform on the patient's behalf.
