IBD Partners research prioritization process!
Have you ever had a question about IBD that you wish science could answer? Tell us what research is important to you!
Here, you can submit a research idea to the community, cast your votes, and discuss research ideas proposed by other members. Please make your research question as specific as possible. Other members will vote on your research idea, and we will prioritize research ideas with the most votes.
You are allowed to vote for your own proposed research idea if you want. However, you can only vote for a total of five research ideas. If you have already cast your five votes and an idea you like even more is proposed, you can change your votes at any time to reflect your current preferences.
The research team will review all submitted ideas and provide a response to you and to the community. If your idea leads to an IBD Partners Study, you will have the opportunity to serve as a patient collaborator on the research team for that study.
We encourage you to prioritize the ideas that are most important to you, even if the research team determines that your idea is not a good fit for IBD Partners. We will share ideas labeled “Not a Good Fit” with researchers outside of our network when appropriate. We want to make sure all of your votes count!
Thanks for your participation in this important platform to help the IBD research community understand what research questions are important to patients. We are passionate about finding answers to your questions!

I propose that the link between Crohn's/UC and other auto-immune diseases be researched more in depth.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at the age of 13 and after a few years was also diagnosed with 3 other auto-immune diseases, yet my father who has been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease for 25 years does not have this same problem.
