Without help from other funding sources, talented young investigators struggle to continue their research, build their research portfolios, and obtain future federal funding. This leads to promising investigators walking away from GI research frustrated by a lack of support. Investigators in the early stages of their careers are particularly hard hit.

Decades of research have revolutionized the care of many digestive disease patients. These patients, as well as everyone in the GI field – clinicians and researchers alike – have benefited from discoveries made by dedicated investigators, past and present.

Creative young researchers are poised to make groundbreaking discoveries that will shape the future of gastroenterology. Unfortunately, declining government funding for biomedical research puts this potential in jeopardy. We’re at risk of losing an entire generation of researchers if we don’t act now.

To fill this gap, the AGA Research Foundation invites you to support young investigators’ research careers, allowing them to make discoveries that could ultimately improve patient care and even cure diseases.

“We are at the threshold of key research advances that will cure digestive diseases. We have the manpower, we have trained the people, now we need to have the security that they can stay in research and advance these cures,” said Kim Elaine Barrett, PhD, AGAF, AGA legacy society donor and AGA governing board member.
