In 1965, with the help of Dr. Henry D. Janowitz, Irwin M. Rosenthal established the Foundation for Research in Ileitis, Inc., now known as the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, Inc. He was joined shortly thereafter by William D. Modell. At that time, the entire annual NIH budget for research on inflammatory bowel disease was only $25,000. Successful fund raising made it possible to recruit a research fellow at The Mount Sinai Hospital in the Division of Gastroenterology to study ileitis. Thereafter, the efforts of the foundation expanded nationwide. It supported a nationally coordinated research program and sponsored education for physicians, patients and the public. In addition, it established support groups to help patients and their families cope with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. With the energy and philanthropy of the foundation's many lay leaders, tens of millions of dollars have been raised for research and education in inflammatory bowel disease.
1965年，在亨利·D·贾诺维茨博士的帮助下，欧文·M·罗森塔尔创立了回肠炎研究基金会，即现在的美国克罗恩病和结肠炎基金会。不久之后，威廉·D·莫德尔也加入了进来。当时，美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）用于炎症性肠病研究的全年预算仅为25,000美元。成功的筹款使得在西奈山医院胃肠病科招募一名研究员来研究回肠炎成为可能。此后，该基金会的工作扩展到了全国范围。它支持了一项全国性协调的研究计划，并为医生、患者和公众提供教育资助。此外，它还设立了支持小组，以帮助患者及其家人应对克罗恩病和溃疡性结肠炎。在该基金会众多非专业领导人的精力投入和慈善支持下，已经筹集了数千万美元用于炎症性肠病的研究和教育。
