The CIHR Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD) is pleased to announce the launch of a Request for Applications for Team Grants in Nutrition and the Epigenome in partnership with members of the Joint Programming Initiative A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life (JPI HDHL).
The aim of this call is to support transnational, collaborative research projects that gain a better understanding of the diet-epigenome relationships and their effect on human health. This will allow the development and scientific substantiation of intervention strategies for treating nutrition-related diseases and sustaining good health throughout the life course.
Proposals should focus on diet and epigenome, and cover one of the areas listed here.
The total CIHR amount available for the Canadian component of successful projects is $900,000 CAD, enough to fund approximately two grants. The maximum amount per Canadian component of the grant is $150,000/year for up to three years.
Important Dates: The JPI HDHL call for proposals has been launched and the CIHR call for proposals will be posted mid-February 2018. The application deadline is April 12, 2018.
