the American Gastroenterological Association
(AGA). The Foundation funds research and educational programs
aimed at improving digestive health nationwide including IBD
research. For more information and to see a list of upcoming grant

Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA)
The guiding mission of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of
America (CCFA) is to stimulate and encourage innovative research
in the basic biomedical and clinical sciences, which is likely
to increase our understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, therapy,
and prevention of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (collectively
known as inflammatory bowel disease or IBD). In addition, the
foundation offers training awards to encourage the early developmental
stages of individuals with research potential for a career of
independent basic and/or clinical investigation in IBD.
All research proposals are peer-reviewed. Selection criteria
include the scientific merit of the proposal, the relevancy of
the proposal to IBD, and the excellence of the investigator and
the research environment. For more information, visit www.ccfa.org.
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) conduct and support biomedical
research, disseminating research findings and health information
to the public. NIH is part of the U.S. Government, under the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS). Two main institutes at NIH,
the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK) and the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID), provide funding for IBD-related research. For
