Research creates successful practices. Patients benefit from GI research daily in practices. Scientists are working hard to develop new treatments, therapies and discover cures to advance the field and better patient care. But they can’t do this without research funding.

AGA Legacy Society members have answered this call for support. They recognize the value that research has had in their profession, both in academic medicine and in private practice, and are showing their appreciation by giving back.

“I give back because I have a firsthand knowledge of what it will mean to a young investigator’s career,” said Shrikant Anant, PhD, AGAF, University of Kansas, AGA Legacy Society member. “I was propelled in my career when I received the 2002 AGA Research Scholar Award from the AGA Research Foundation. The funds helped me develop my independent research that led to many NIH grants and, associated with it, career advancement. I still vividly remember the day I received the notice of award and how my whole life changed. Today, I am proud to be a donor myself because I know it is making a difference on yet another young investigator.”

The AGA Legacy Society boasts 161 members. AGA Legacy Society members see the promise the future holds and are committed to furthering research in gastroenterology and hepatology through their generous donations.

AGA members who make gifts at the AGA Legacy Society level anytime before Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2024 will receive an invitation to the AGA Research Foundation Benefactor’s Event in Washington, D.C.
