Probiotics Council - Young Investigator Grant; February 15, 2017
Description
The
Global Probiotics Council has issued a Request for Proposals for its tenth
annual Young Investigator Grant for Probiotics Research awards.Three
grants of up $50,000 will be awarded for new research
on probiotics and gastrointestinal microbiota. The focus of the 2017 program is
to improve understanding of mechanisms by which potential probiotics, including
beneficial commensals, interact with the host and gastrointestinal microbiota
to improve host physiology and function. Proposals on dietary and nutritional
approaches to improve physiological function and health status are preferred
over proposals on disease pathogenesis, drugs, and therapies.
To
be eligible, applicants must be a young investigator/senior fellow with a
committed faculty appointment or a relatively new faculty member within five
consecutive years of his/her first faculty appointment (appointments must be in
the United States). Applicants must be interested in understanding the health
benefits of probiotics and microbiota and the relationship between probiotics,
gastrointestinal microbiota, and the body, and be part of an established
research program with the capacity to do research on microbiota and its role in
health and disease.
