The AGA Research Foundation, the charitable arm of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), plays an important role in medical research by providing grants to young scientists at a critical time in their career. The AGA Research Foundation’s mission is to raise funds to support young researchers in gastroenterology and hepatology.

The research program of the AGA has had an important impact on digestive disease research for the last 30 years. Ninety percent of investigators who received an AGA Research Scholar Award over the past 10 years have stayed in gastroenterology and hepatology research.

AGA grants have led to discoveries, including new approaches to down-regulate intestinal inflammation, a test for genetic predisposition to colon cancer, and autoimmune liver disease treatments. The importance of these awards is evidenced by the fact that virtually every major advance leading to the understanding, prevention, treatment, and cure of digestive diseases has been made in the research laboratory of a talented young investigator.

At a time when funds from the National Institutes of Health and other traditional sources of support are in decline, the AGA Research Foundation is committed and ready to support young investigators and fund discoveries that will continue to improve GI practice and better patient care.

The AGA Research Foundation provides a key source of funding at a critical juncture in a young researcher’s career. By joining AGA members and donors in donating to the AGA Research Foundation, you will ensure that researchers have opportunities to continue their life-saving work.
