Introduction
awarded between 2007 and 2017, found that funding for research into functional
gastrointestinal disorders was scarce despite the high level of burden attributable to
disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.5 Updating and extending this work to examine
EU funding per level of burden for digestive and other diseases is needed to provide evidence
to develop a strong rationale for increased research support and assist UEG in designing a
research agenda that is responsive to health needs and salient evidence gaps.
To address some of the needs that have been mentioned and continue efforts to encourage
research in the field of digestive health, UEG commissioned this report as part of the White
Book 2. This report provides an exploratory overview of research priorities, activity and
funding in the field of digestive health, on which to inform further discussions and exercises
to develop future UEG research support agendas and advocacy strategies. The report builds
upon the results of previous UEG surveys to gain insights about the priorities and preferences
of national society members, whilst also creating an opportunity for national societies to
communicate their research priorities to UEG and other societies. To enhance understanding
of the research environment the report also provides an overview of the distribution of
research activity and EU funding in the field of digestive health, and how patterns of activity
and funding relate to differences in burden of disease. Recommendations for further
research and additional exercises that may be useful in priority and agenda setting processes
are also provided. It is intended that the evidence generated will aid UEG in identifying areas
where research and investment are required based on evidence gaps, population health
needs and priority research areas identified by its members. It is also hoped that the report
will be of interest to national and specialist gastroenterology societies seeking opportunities
for collaboration.
Aims and objectives
The overarching aim of the report is to explore priorities and potential gaps in the field of
digestive health research in the European region.
The objectives are:
* To collect, analyse and disseminate information about the research priorities and
preferences of UEG national society members.
* To provide an overview of the distribution of research activity in the field of digestive
health by estimating quantities of published literature by topic and disorder.
* To identify and quantify European Commission funding within Horizon 2020 for
digestive disease research in relation to disease burden in the EU.
