Apply for Funding

We offer research grants to assist researchers and healthcare professionals to further advance their respective fields of work. Each grant has its own unique requirements for submission and application deadlines.

Events and Conferences

We host educational events and conferences to help Canada's talented community of IBD researchers and healthcare providers discuss best practices and stay up-to-date on the latest findings related to research and patient care. One such annual event is our Meeting of the Minds conference held every November in Toronto. If you are a healthcare provider or IBD researcher, you won't want to miss it.
