The Kenneth Rainin Foundation’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) resource highlights our growing Health portfolio, our goals and the research areas and scientists we support.
A Place For IBD Researchers To Connect
We created this resource to share what we’re funding and help you find where your ideas might fit within our portfolio. Our grantees are advancing new lines of thinking and innovative methods and technologies to enhance quality of life for IBD patients. We invite you to explore what they are testing and learning, and how their funded projects connect to our priorities. We hope their work inspires ideas about your own research and opportunities to collaborate. We invite you to begin a conversation with us. We’re eager to hear about your research, the challenges you face and what you and the field need to advance. Listening and learning are essential for us to effectively support the people behind the science.
An Invitation To Other Funders
This resource is one way for us to elevate the groundbreaking research and interdisciplinary collaborations of our grantees. We invite other funders to partner with us—increasing funding and support for this type of research—to accelerate progress in predicting, treating and eventually curing this complex disease.
Together, we can solve IBD.
