What Do We Fund?

Research grants are available for innovative proposals that will lead to improvements in the prevention, diagnosis or therapy of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.

Not-for-profit institutions worldwide are eligible for funding.

Basic and clinical investigators, scientists not currently working in inflammatory bowel disease and interdisciplinary teams are encouraged to apply.

Preference is given to proposals of work conducted with patients and with strong potential of clinical applicability in the foreseeable future.  Research using non-human material should be relevant to patients with IBD and lead to translational benefits.

Funding can be requested for up to two years. Funding of a second year will be based on an evaluation of the progress and the perceived value of the findings from the first year of funding.

No submission deadlines. Rapid response and funding.
