Description
The ANMS Discovery Grants Program, offered by the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS), is designed to foster innovative research in neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal (GI) motility. The program provides pilot funding to clinical fellowship trainees, postdoctoral research fellows, and early-career faculty to generate preliminary data that will strengthen applications for future extramural funding (such as NIH K or R awards, institutional grants, or society career development awards). Projects can span basic science, translational, or clinical research, and recipients are expected to contribute to the ANMS mission by engaging in scholarly activities and disseminating findings at ANMS meetings.
