Congress Might Cut Funding for This Historic IBD Breakthrough
Next week, a U.S. House committee will vote on a massive 37% cut to medical research funding. This includes IBD research. Why does this matter? Scientists are on the verge of a breakthrough that could predict years in advance if a person will get Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, and provide specific steps to prevent it. Researchers are also making life-changing advancements in IBD treatment. These misguided funding cuts could immediately halt this advancement while prematurely ending many existing IBD research projects, eliminating crucial follow-up research and canceling clinical trials.
