Advisory Board

The BMRP advisory board and the director of the Broad Medical Research Program for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Grants work together to create the most fertile conditions for successful and innovative research in inflammatory bowel disease. The advisory board provides guidance and advice on the program’s policies, procedures and direction. The board also attends the annual BMRP investigator meeting and reviews funded grants, including a grantee’s scientific reports and publications, in order to provide oversight of the progress being made in IBD research by BMRP grantees.
