United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a nonprofit organization in the Hospitals and Health Care sector, based in Richmond, Virginia. It coordinates organ donation and transplantation through research, innovation, and collaboration with the broader medical community, with the goal of saving and transforming lives. Its work targets transplant centers, hospitals, clinicians, and patients awaiting organ transplants by addressing allocation and logistics challenges in the United States, including guidelines that prioritize medical urgency for certain lung transplants. In 2026, UNOS partnered with LifeNet Health and NASA Langley Research Center to demonstrate drone-based transport of human kidneys beyond visual line of sight, a development relevant to future organ transportation.
