NIFA Invests $7M to Investigate Relationships Between Food and Human Health (A1343)

The A1343 Food and Human Health program area priority within NIFA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative consists of projects which contribute culturally and contextually appropriate approaches, where applicable, to investigate the interrelationships of foods, or components of foods, and their impact on the gut microbiota to improve human health. Project results inform precision nutrition or personalized dietary needs particularly for historically underrepresented populations. Project results complement our nation's dietary pattern recommendations to prevent, reduce or control chronic diseases.
