Other Sources of Funding Broad Medical Research Program The Broad Medical Research Program (BMRP) of the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Foundation seeks to stimulate innovative research that will lead to both the prevention and successful therapy of IBD. Its goal is to fund basic or clinical research projects that: (a) are in the early stages of exploration; (b) propose new directions or ideas; (c) are creative, novel, cutting-edge and imaginative; and (d) are not ready for funding by other more traditional granting agencies.
National Institutes of Health (NIH) The National Institutes of Health (NIH) conduct and support biomedical research, disseminating research findings and health information to the public. NIH is part of the U.S. Government, under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Two main institutes at NIH, the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), provide funding for IBD-related research. Specifically, the NIDDK (a division of the NIH) has released two RFA's for their Silvo Conte Digestive Disease Research Centers Program.

Grants will be awarded for a maximum of three years, not to exceed $150,000 per annum. The deadline for the 2007 Grants in Aid of Research Competition is November 15th, 2007. This award is only open to Canadian researchers. The CCFC Visiting Scientist Program
The CCFC Visiting Scientist program is designed to allow Canadian institutions to bring in productive scientists having expertise not available within the institution, and to allow Canadian scientists to visit major international research centers in order to acquire knowledge or new techniques related to IBD research. The next deadline for the CCFC Visiting Scientist Program is December 3rd, 2007. This award is open to international researchers. "Innovations in IBD Research": A Special Competition
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada invites applications for an Innovative Research Grant, to fund novel or innovative approaches to IBD research. This grant is intended to stimulate and support research which may not be encompassed within the boundaries of traditional medical research. Research proposals must conform to sound principles of research. The Foundation seeks excellence as well as innovation. Grants to a maximum of $50,000 for one year may be awarded. There are two deadlines for this competition - March 1st and September 1st. This award is open to international researchers. updated 5/13/08 |
