Help Ensure a Vibrant Pool of GI Researchers
This year, the NIDDK celebrates 60 years of supporting basic and clinical research that has contributed to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of digestive diseases. The AGA and its Foundation also have played an important role in medical research, funding the work of some 550 scientists, many of them in the earlier stages of their research careers and who, without our support, may not have gone on to secure funding from the NIDDK and, in turn, make important contributions to the field of gastroenterology.
As a GI professional and researcher, you have been positively impacted by these medical advances. That is why we are asking you to join us in honoring the valuable work of the NIDDK and to help support the AGA as we continue to fund promising young investigators who are not yet able to secure federal funding.
