The Kenneth Rainin Foundation will launch its new Innovator Awards Program for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Research in 2010. The Program is designed to accelerate the pace of discovery in IBD research.
To accomplish the Foundation's mission of no one suffering from IBD, the Innovator Awards Program emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration to find applicants with diverse backgrounds who can help build a creative, conceptual paradigm for IBD.
Initial one-year grants of $100,000 will be awarded once annually. The first round of applications will be accepted February 15 - March 15, 2010. Successful projects will be eligible for significant multi-year funding based on the initial year's proof of principle work.
The Kenneth Rainin Foundation (www.krfoundation.org) is a private family foundation that funds inspiring and world-changing work. In addition to its work with the arts and literacy, it strives to provide opportunity for a healthy lifestyle for those with chronic disease. The Foundation focuses its efforts on the San Francisco Bay Area and specific medical issues and will utilize its networks, resources, and commitment to socially responsible practices to support innovation, collaboration and connection.
