In the next 20 years, the practice of gastroenterology will likely be transformed by new treatments and devices aimed at improving care for patients with digestive disorders. This future is being shaped by years of research, supported by the AGA Research Foundation through its Research Awards Program. The foundation provides essential funding to both emerging and established investigators in GI and hepatology, fostering breakthroughs that will advance the understanding and treatment of digestive conditions. With continued support from AGA members, the community is driving the scientific progress needed to empower clinicians with better tools for tomorrow’s care.
