## Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center Pilot/Feasibility Awards The Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center provides support to pilot/feasibility (P/F) projects in the area of GI-related research each year. These funds specifically support projects related to the theme for the DDC.
The overall theme of the DDC is “Molecular mechanisms and outcomes of injury, infection, or metabolic dysfunction of the digestive system” with digestive-disease-related subthemes centering on: * Infection (including host-microbe interactions and microbiome) * Injury (including tumorigenesis and stem cell response) * Metabolism (including diseases associated with obesity and the gut-brain axis) GI is defined as the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas.
Injury is defined as drug, genetic, ischemic, inflammatory, surgical, nutritional, or stress-induced injury to the gastrointestinal tract. Injury also includes gastrointestinal adaptation and stem cells. Proposed projects must fall within one of the above-mentioned subthemes.
Awards range between $35,000 to $50,000 for a period of one year. A committee composed of the DDC Internal Advisory Board, plus ad hoc members, evaluates proposals. **Anyone interested in applying for a DDC Pilot Feasibility Award is welcome to participate in a****virtual Q&A Session****on Oct.
15, 2026 at 2 p. m. ** For more information about this online session, please contact the DDC administrator, Sara Tristan.
All faculty members from within the Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center consortium are eligible to apply. This includes Baylor College of Medicine, The University of Texas Health Science Center, and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Faculty members at other institutions are eligible if they submit a grant that collaborates with a faculty member who is also a member of the Digestive Diseases Center.
Trainees also should have a commitment from a senior scientist to sponsor their projects and assurance of future faculty appointment from the Section/Dept Head. Trainee applicants for pilot projects are not required to be United States citizens or possess a permanent resident visa. Funding preference will be given to early-stage career faculty.
The purpose of these grants is to help early-career investigators establish an independent research program and to encourage the involvement of established investigators not currently working in the GI area.

On October 28, 2026, Airbnb said it will donate $0.10 of revenue from every homestay to Airbnb.org, toward a $500 million, five-year goal of 1 million free nights a year. Airbnb.org is on track for about 100,000 nights this year, so the target means roughly 10x growth. The money funds housing credits that partner nonprofits place with families traveling for medical care, domestic violence survivors, veterans in treatment, and disaster evacuees, not cash grants. Here's how the partner model works and how to position your organization.
Read articleOn October 28, 2026, Houston Endowment committed $33.2 million over three years to nine Greater Houston community colleges, which enroll more than 195,000 students and graduate just 37 percent of starters, versus 67 percent at four-year schools. The money follows $500,000 planning grants to each college in 2025 and Texas House Bill 8, which ties state community college funding to credentials, transfers, and dual credit instead of enrollment. Here's how the initiative is built, why the plan-then-implement model matters, and what colleges and partners elsewhere can learn.
