Grants to USA, Canada, and International nonprofit and for-profit institutions for collaborative research related to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Funding is intended to support innovative, risky research methods that show a potential for a significant breakthrough. Funds are available for research that is rooted in basic science, translational science, or clinical science. Throughout the application, it is essential to demonstrate that the end product of the proposed research could not be achieved without collaboration.

The Foundation supports novel, high-risk research, and they challenge investigators to push boundaries. Their funding approach to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) research could lead to new, transformative discoveries for IBD and other chronic diseases. Grants enable researchers to test ideas and gather data to advance the understanding of IBD.

Providing samples and data will be necessary; however, the basis of the applicants’ success goes beyond this requirement. A clear and essential contribution from each of the groups involved must be clearly explained in terms of:
- Percentage contribution
- Materials shared
- Quality of science achieved as a collaboration that is not attainable individually
- Quantification of milestones upon which the project will be measured after one year
- Potential benefit to the IBD patient as a result of the collaborative efforts

At least one investigator from the team is required to attend Rainin Foundation’s annual grantee convening and Innovations Symposium in July 2020 of the award. Travel costs to attend the Rainin Foundation’s annual meeting must be included in the proposal budget. Eligible costs include: Economy/coach airfare and ground transportation for each investigator. Hotel expenses for grantees will be hosted by the Rainin Foundation.
