The overall goal of the Digestive Health Institute is to improve digestive health through collaborative research, communication and education. DHI's research goals include both basic and clinical research on diet, digestive health and digestive disease conditions. Research findings will be published in peer review journals and other appropriate print and digital media. DHI will conduct charitable and educational activities to promote increased awareness of digestive health issues, research findings and the latest treatments. To support DHI's primary goals, the organization will seek to secure funding through government and local grants, fund raising events, and private donations.
