Goals:

The Kenneth Rainin Foundation supports “out-of-the-box” innovative research projects that are potentially transformative to our efforts to diagnose, treat and/or cure Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Through our Innovator Awards Program for IBD Research, we aim to reach out to all scientific disciplines from any non-profit research institution worldwide as a means to attract innovative researchers and encourage integrative cooperation across all disciplines in an effort to accomplish the Foundation’s mission of no one suffering from IBD.  

Giving guidelines for Health:

The Foundation supports projects that are in close alignment with its Awards Program criteria, which includes:

• Innovation
• Collaboration
• Scientific merit
• High potential for success
• Funding projects that, due to their innovative nature, may not be eligible for funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other more traditional sources.  

Details of the Foundation’s 2011 Innovator Awards Program will be announced in the fall of 2010.
