Description
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation's Student Research Fellowship Awards support undergraduate, medical, and graduate students spending at least 10 weeks investigating 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 a period of full-time investigation under a research mentor.
Students participate in projects directed by faculty mentors at accredited institutions, with the proposed work required to be highly relevant to IBD. The fellowship combines financial support with mentored research experience as part of the Foundation's mission to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and improve patients' quality of life. The program receives support from the Doyle Family.
