Each legislative session presents new opportunities to improve the quality of life for IBD patients from coast to coast.
THE INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE RESEARCH ENHANCEMENT ACT This bill builds upon the success of the Research Review Act and seeks to address a crisis in federal funding of IBD research. The goal of this bipartisan legislation is to expand federally supported research on Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis at the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with a specific focus on pediatric research. Contact your legislators about the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Research Enhancement Act.
