WHY DDRF?


DDRF LogoDigestive diseases directly impact 70 million Americans. Yet prevention and treatment are often challenging. Far too many pass up truly life-saving tests like colonoscopies, needlessly fearing the experience (painless for most patients), or out of sheer embarrassment. And that’s where we’re making the difference.

 

A UNIQUE APPROACH CAN LEAD TO GREAT RESULTS


We’re aggressively attacking the problem on every front: funding important clinical research into diagnosis and treatment; sponsoring education for doctors, nurses, and related professionals; and supporting them in their search to find new and better ways to treat and manage GI diseases.


Even more, we’re putting talented young physician-scientists into the mix, giving them their chance to do groundbreaking clinical research in a setting that’s non-bureaucratic, real world, and practice-based.
