Description
The ACG Clinical Research Awards, offered by the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) through its Institute for Clinical Research and Education, are designed to advance patient-focused research in gastroenterology and hepatology. These awards fund innovative clinical studies that address digestive and liver diseases, supporting research that aims to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes. Projects must involve human subjects and have direct applicability to clinical care. Studies using animal models are not eligible unless human studies are not feasible. The program seeks to foster translational and clinical research that expands medical knowledge and enhances patient care in gastroenterology.
