 Between April 2000 and March 2003, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) was a major supporter of the consortium and supplemented development of the database. This support would not have been possible without the vision and commitment to pediatric IBD of Joel Cutler. Investigators were also supported in part by grants from the NIH (DK060617 [MBH], DK053708 and DK062149 [BDG]), from the VA HSR & D CDA Awardee RCD00-013-2 [HES] and from The Nathan Cummings Foundation, Chicago, Illinois [BSK].
