More than 50 years ago, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation created the field of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis research. Today, the Foundation funds cutting-edge

studies at major medical institutions, nurtures investigators at the early stages of their careers, and finances underdeveloped areas of research.
