Proof of Principle 2023: The Microbiome and Precision Nutrition
Weston Family Foundation
The Weston Family Foundation, through its Proof-of-Principle program, funds Canadian scientists performing high-risk, high-reward translational research that leverages the microbiome towards improving human health.
The human body is host to trillions of microbes. Research suggests that these organisms play important roles in health and disease and have a profound bearing on nutrition. The Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of a new funding opportunity. The Proof-of-Principle 2023 program will support high-impact projects that seek to leverage the microbiome to maximize the health benefits of precision nutrition.
A Program Information Session will be offered on June 14th (register here) and July 5th (register here).
Funding available up $300,000 over a maximum of thirty months.
