Blood and plasma shortages are common in most countries; for example, in 2005 Australia imported nearly 30% of the plasma it used. This project will develop and test in the field several policies to improve Australia's blood supply. The policies will build on robust behaviours observed in economic experiments, but that have generally not been tested outside the lab. The policies include non-binding commitments, giving gifts and narrowing the perceived distance between blood donors and recipients. This project offers Australia many potential benefits including greater economic efficiency to supply blood and plasma, fewer shortages, and consequently improved health services, and greater recognition as a pioneer in blood donor supply methods.

血液和血浆短缺在大多数国家都很常见;例如，2005年澳大利亚进口了近30%的血浆。该项目将在实地制定和测试几项改善澳大利亚血液供应的政策。这些政策将建立在经济实验中观察到的稳健行为基础上，但这些行为通常没有在实验室之外进行过测试。这些政策包括不具约束力的承诺、赠送礼物和缩小献血者与受血者之间的距离。该项目为澳大利亚带来了许多潜在的好处，包括提高血液和血浆供应的经济效率，减少短缺，从而改善医疗服务，并作为献血者供应方法的先驱获得更大的认可。
