I did find that CCFA does receive money from Centocor, the people who developed Remicade. I am still not sure CCFA is the worst organization to back though. I did find some other people working on research in Crohn's. Off to ride, I will bookmark my search for the rainy day forecasted tomorrow!

One group, Paratuberculosis Awareness & Research Association (PARA), is doing research on the correlation between Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) and crohn's.

It appears Johns Hopkins has a large area devoted to research on digestive disorders, but seem to be focused on colon cancer more than Crohn's. They also have research focused on autoimmune disease.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has a group dedicated to researching IBD.
