Preliminary announcement of a Joint Transnational Call on Intestinal Microbiomics

Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) is an active member of the JPI HDHL, a partnership of research funding agencies from across Europe and beyond which are working together to address the major societal challenge of healthy lifestyles and nutrition.

The JPI HDHL has developed a joint transnational call on Intestinal Microbiomics and has released a pre-announcement of this call.

The call will be officially launched on the 19 March 2015.

The call seeks proposals that will use innovative approaches to increase our knowledge of

• the effects of diet on human intestinal microbiota
• the functional impact of diet-related variations in the intestinal microbiota on human health

This action will support multidisciplinary transnational research consortia for a period of 3 years. The submission deadline for pre-proposals is expected to be on 18 April 2015.
