Student Research Fellowship Awards

Student Research Fellowship Awards are the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's small student stipend route for IBD research in the United States. The award is meant for undergraduate, medical, or graduate students who have not yet started thesis research and who will spend at least 10 weeks on a faculty-mentored project. Each award is a one-time $2,500 stipend paid to the institution, not the student, and up to 16 awards are available each year. Applicants must study at a US-accredited institution, the mentor cannot be a relative or the student's lab supervisor, and similar salary support from another agency is not allowed. The program is funded by the Doyle Family and uses a direct proposalCENTRAL submission without an LOI stage. Recipients must file a financial statement and scientific report by September 1 of the award year, and failure to do so can block future Foundation awards. The award can suit a summer or term-time project because it is capped at one payment and only asks for a ten-week research placement.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
