Inspiring Connection And Collaboration
The Rainin Foundation’s goal is to transform the prediction and prevention of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and ultimately find a cure for this chronic disease. We created this resource to share what we’re funding and help you find where your ideas might fit within our portfolio. Together, we can solve IBD.
Health
We support novel, high-risk research and challenge investigators to push boundaries. The beginning of an idea is particularly exciting to us because it’s where we can make the greatest impact. Our investments enable researchers to test ideas and gather data to advance the understanding of IBD. Beyond funding, we recognize the importance of dialogue and facilitate the collaboration among investigators to move IBD research forward. Learn about our goals, strategies, tactics and the outcomes we hope to achieve.
