research: each ic diagnosis means a new fight for someone's spouse, parent, child or friend. There is no cure for ic. Through the "imagine no ic" pilot research program, the ica funds preliminary research, allowing scientists to gather data required to obtain larger grants for further exploration of the cause, better treatments, and ultimately a cure. Our team tracks ic research and disseminates findings across media platforms. Ica leadership also serve on government and industry research advisory committees.
