Description
This opportunity provides one-year pilot funding (up to $30,000) for innovative, patient-oriented clinical research projects in gastroenterology or hepatology. The goal is to enable early-career clinicians and researchers—including fellows-in-training, faculty, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and international physicians—to generate preliminary data that may lead to future, larger studies or changes in clinical practice. Projects must focus on digestive or liver diseases and be directly applicable to clinical care. The program is designed to encourage clinical research among those with limited prior funding and to foster the development of research careers in digestive health.
