The Crohn’s in Childhood Research Association (CICRA) is dedicated to creating a wider understanding of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, particularly as it affects children and young adults. It raises funds to support approved medical and scientific research aimed at finding more effective treatments and an eventual cure.

CICRA sponsors Research Fellowships and PhD studentships and gives grants for approved research projects in major gastroenterological centres nationwide. Investment in research has led to new treatments to help sufferers and has helped to train many of the specialists who today treat children throughout the UK.

CICRA is pleased to announce that following peer review 3 research grants totalling almost £190,000 have recently been awarded to:   Professor David Wilson, Edinburgh Hospital for Sick Children,  Dr Sarah Ennis, Southampton University and Dr David Bulmer, Barts and the Royal London Hospital.

Please note that a further call for research applications will be made in September 2012 – if interested please re-visit the CICRA website later in the year for further details or contact CICRA now so we can notify you when Call opens.
