CEGIR Scholars

Consortium Training Program Supports EGID Researchers of the Future

CEGIR is part of the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN). A unique part of the RDCRN is a training program that supports investigators that are new to rare disease research. The trainees who participate have access to in-person and web-based opportunities to help them be successful in rare disease research. The trainees are experienced medical professionals who are familiar with eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases and are working to more deeply focus their research efforts in this area. Here, we are pleased to introduce the four trainees that that have been selected to participate in the training program with CEGIR.
