The Rainin Foundation supports novel, high-risk research and challenge investigators to push boundaries. The beginning of an idea is particularly exciting because it’s where we can make the greatest impact. Our unique funding approach to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) research could lead to new, transformative discoveries for IBD and other chronic diseases. Our investments enable researchers to test ideas and gather data to advance the understanding of IBD. Beyond funding, we recognize the importance of dialogue and facilitate collaboration among innovative researchers to enhance discoveries. Our flexibility as a funder allows us to provide support when there are obstacles and questions, and opportunities for scientific advancements. IBD research is challenging due to the complex nature of the disease. Supporting new and seasoned researchers alike and embracing novel ideas gives us the best chance of discovering breakthroughs in IBD research. We are energized and inspired by that prospect. Our core funding program that supports groundbreaking IBD research is our Innovator Awards program.
