This fellowship provides financial support for students to conduct research on topics related to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The program aims to foster early interest in IBD research among undergraduate, medical, or graduate students (not yet engaged in thesis research) by enabling them to undertake full-time, mentored research projects for a minimum of 10 weeks at an accredited U.S. institution. The award is intended to stimulate scientific inquiry and contribute to advancements in understanding and treating IBD.
