NMDP Couriers

A pivotal part of transplant is transporting blood stem cells from the donation site to the patient’s hospital. Blood stem cells are a living part of your body and can expire relatively quickly when outside of the body, which means time is of the essence. That’s why we rely on volunteer couriers to make sure these VIP cells get to their destination.

Thank you for your interest in the NMDP courier program. Our couriers play a vital role in supporting our mission by transporting life-saving blood stem cells from donors to patients worldwide.

Applications for the courier position are now closed. We regularly assess our needs, so please check back in October 2025 for updates on future opportunities.
