Designed by the 91ÊÓƵInventions and Innovations Special Interest Group, this award
will support invention concepts that could advance the practice of gastroenterology and patient care.
This award will promote the development of a practical innovative mindset among gastroenterologists.
Proposals from individuals or small independent groups will be prioritized. A $10,000 and $5,000 award
will be given to two applicants for the development of concept prototypes. Given the unpredictable
nature of innovation, the only requirement to participate will be that innovation is related to the field of
gastroenterology, demonstrates novel thinking, and has potential to improve clinical outcome. Awards are a one-time 12-month award.
