Description
The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and its Institute for Clinical Research and Education offer this three-year career development award to help promising junior faculty build independent research careers. It provides protected time for clinical research, alongside development of research and leadership skills, with the goal of advancing work that directly informs gastrointestinal practice.
Projects must focus principally on digestive or liver diseases, including conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract, biliary system, pancreas, or neuroenteric science. Patient-oriented work may include clinical, translational, social science, or health services studies relevant to managing these conditions. ACG emphasizes research involving human participants or human-derived material, diagnostic or therapeutic interventions, and findings applicable to clinical care.
