Funding-Dannon Company - 2016-2017 Dannon Gut
Microbiome, Yogurt and Probiotics Fellowship; February 15, 2017
Description
The
Dannon Company is accepting applications for its Dannon Gut Microbiome, Yogurt and Probiotics Dannon Fellowship Grant program.
Established
in 2012, the program has expanded to include the gut microbiome in recognition
of its remarkable potential with respect to the human body — including immune
health, brain health, and proper digestion and absorption. To date, the grant
has supported research on the use of foods as a delivery vector for beneficial
bacteria, technology for studying the adaptation of fermentative microbes to
milk, the effects of protein fermentation on the human microbiota and digestive
health, and the relationship between probiotics, the gut microbiome, and brain
function.
Through
the program, two $25,000 grants will be awarded to undergraduate, graduate, or
postdoctoral students who show strong interest in exploring the gut microbiome,
probiotics, and/or yogurt.
To
be eligible, applicants must be a citizen of the United States; currently
enrolled full-time as an undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral student; at
least 18 years of age; and studying in the field during the 2016-17 academic
year at an accredited U.S. institution.
