Description
This award, named in honor of Dr. Leonidas H. Berry, is designed to support innovative, patient-oriented clinical research that addresses and aims to reduce health and healthcare disparities in gastroenterology and hepatology. The focus is on actionable science that promotes health equity for underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ+ populations, and individuals living with disabilities unrelated to gastrointestinal disease. Projects may be clinical, translational, social science, or health services studies, and must be directly relevant to digestive or liver diseases. The initiative is part of the ACG Institute’s mission to advance knowledge and improve clinical practice in digestive health.
