Crohn's and Colitis UK Research Fund

More than 100 projects have been funded by Crohn's and Colitis UK members since the Research Fund was started in 1984. The research has been mainly into the causes and treatments for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, but in recent years several Social and Psychological projects have been funded. The funds for research have come almost entirely from Crohn's and Colitis UK members own fund-raising and donations, but support from Charitable Trusts and Companies is growing. Our aim is to increase the funds we make available to £500,000 per year by the end of 2007.

If you would like to make a donation to the Research Fund, please click here; if you would like to discuss fundraising for the Crohn's and Colitis UK research Fund, please email .

Crohn's and Colitis UK's policy has been to fund projects at hospitals and universities throughout the United Kingdom, not just at one centre. Awards are made using peer-review and the projects funded have covered a wide variety of possible causes, including genetics, viruses and bacteria, the immune system and the environment. No single line of research seems to offer a complete understanding of the disease and Crohn's and Colitis UK aims to help research progress in all areas. Crohn's and Colitis UK has been awarded a Certificate of Best Practice in peer-review of research applications by the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC).
