Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation Fibrosis Initiative
Program supports studies focused on the biological mechanisms leading to, and protecting against, fibrosis in IBD. Half of all Crohn’s disease patients will develop disease complications, one of which is development of fibrotic strictures (fibrostenosis) leading to GI tract obstruction and severe clinical consequences. Fibrostenosis is also a serious problem for ulcerative colitis, with approximately 8 percent incidence over a lifetime. Currently there is no clinical solution for preventing or treating fibrostenosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) except for surgical intervention. Therefore, there is a great unmet need to understand fibrotic complications in IBD and how to prevent and treat them. To that end, grants of up to $900,000 over three years will be awarded for studies built on clinical observations and/or published evidence in human IBD. Of particular interest are proposals that address the pathophysiology of fibrosis based on documented patterns of gene expression, cell biological mechanisms of fibrosis, and/or the biology of strictureplasty. Teams with complementary expertise in IBD and fibrosis, with one lead principal investigator and at least one junior co-PI, are eligible to apply. Preference will be given to projects with a multidisciplinary approach. Researchers in the U.S. and other countries are encouraged to apply.
