Support young investigators through the AGA Research Foundation

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the AGA Research Foundation is cultivating the future of the GI community through research grants to young investigators. The work and discoveries of AGA-funded recipients will open doors to new treatments and exciting new areas of knowledge.

With your support, we are building a community of investigators whose work serves the greater community and benefits all our patients. Here are just a few of the researchers the AGA Research Foundation is funding.
