Description
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation's Student Research Fellowship Awards provide financial support for undergraduate, medical, and graduate students to investigate topics relevant to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The program aims to stimulate students' interest in IBD research through at least 10 weeks of full-time investigation.
Students work with a faculty mentor who directs a research project highly relevant to IBD at an accredited institution. The fellowship connects students with an established research project and provides time to gain research experience under faculty guidance. The program is generously supported by the Doyle Family and contributes to the Foundation's mission to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and improve patients' quality of life.
