Our intent with this RFP is to support IBD related research initiatives focused on following:

• Precision medicine approach which is the tailoring of medical treatment to the individual patient, encompassing a multitude of data-driven (including multi-omic) approaches to foster appropriate clinical decision-making. Examples would include: 
  • Identifying clinical or laboratory characteristics of patients who have mild disease or remain in long-term remission, and studying whether patients with comorbidities have a different disease course  
  • Collecting data on access to care for patients from underserved communities in order to tailor treatments more specifically
  • Meta-analysis or Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to further characterize potential differences underrepresented groups vs. general population in terms of disease course or treatment response 
• Research on ways to improve IBD management among underserved groups, such as treat to target approaches
• Studies quantifying the socio-economic and psychological burden of IBD and its correlation with social determinants of health
