For the past five decades, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation has been at the forefront of research in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, also known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The Foundation funds cutting-edge studies at major medical institutions, nurtures investigators at the early stages of their careers, and finances underdeveloped areas of research. Beyond research, the Foundation collaborates with healthcare providers to improve IBD quality of care, as well as educating, supporting, and em-powering patients and their caregivers through patient-centric education and advocacy programs.
