purposes. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 8, 2003
Mrs. KELLY introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce 
A BILL 
To expand research regarding inflammatory bowel disease, 
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Inflammatory Bowel 
Disease Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are se-
rious inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal 
tract. Crohn’s disease may occur in any section of
the gastrointestinal tract but is predominately found 
in the lower part of the small intestine and the large 
intestine. Ulcerative colitis is characterized by in-
flammation and ulceration of the innermost lining of 
the colon. Because Crohn’s disease and ulcerative co-
litis behave similarly, they are collectively known as 
inflammatory bowel disease. Both diseases present a 
variety of symptoms, including severe diarrhea, 
crampy abdominal pain, fever, and rectal bleeding. 
There is no known cause of inflammatory bowel dis-
ease, or medical cure. 
(2) It is estimated that up to 1,000,000 people 
in the United States suffer from inflammatory bowel 
disease. 
(3) In 1990, the total annual medical costs for 
Crohn’s 
disease 
patients 
was 
estimated 
at 
$1,000,000,000 to $1,200,000,000. 
(4) In 1990, the total annual medical costs for 
ulcerative 
colitis 
patients 
was 
estimated 
at 
$400,000,000 to $600,000,000. 
(5) Inflammatory bowel disease patients are at 
high-risk for developing colorectal cancer.
SEC. 3. INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE RESEARCH EX-
PANSION. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Director of the National In-
stitute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases 
shall expand, intensify, and coordinate the activities of the 
Institute with respect to research on inflammatory bowel 
disease with particular emphasis on the following areas: 
(1) Genetic research on susceptibility for in-
flammatory bowel disease, including the interaction 
of genetic and environmental factors in the develop-
ment of the disease. 
(2) Animal model research on inflammatory 
bowel disease, including genetics in animals. 
(3) Clinical inflammatory bowel disease re-
search, including clinical studies and treatment 
trials. 
(4) Other research initiatives identified by the 
scientific document entitled ‘‘Challenges in Inflam-
matory Bowel Disease’’. 
(b) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—For the purpose of carrying 
out this section, there are authorized to be appro-
priated 
$75,000,000 
in 
fiscal 
year 
2004,
