ZonMw publishes new HDHL INTIMIC call METADIS
The Joint Programming Initiative Healthy Diet for A Healthy Life (JPI HDHL) launched 'Impact of Diet, Food Components and Food Processing on Body Weight Regulation and Overweight Related Metabolic Diseases (METADIS)', the third call organised under the umbrella of the ERA HDHL-INTIMIC in order to promote collaborative international research on nutrition and health. Deadline for submitting pre-proposals is April 2, 2019. ZonMw participates on behalf of the Netherlands with a budget of € 750,000.
Besides the Netherlands the following countries participate in the call: Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Spain and Sweden. The aim of METADIS is to support transnational, collaborative research projects that address important research questions regarding the effects of food (components) or diets and/or food processing on overweight and related metabolic diseases. An additional objective is to support Early Career Scientists in the area of food, nutrition and health.
Proposals should focus on one or both of the following topics:
- Identification of food (components) or diets that affect appetite and/or satiety, body weight regulation and/or risk factors for the development of overweight related metabolic diseases as well as the underlying mechanisms. This includes the understanding of individual responses to food components or diets.
- The effect of food processing and/or storage conditions on food components, and the mechanisms by which this will influence appetite and/or satiety, body weight regulation and/or risk factors for the development of overweight related metabolic diseases. This can include studying how to modify the amount of these food components during food processing without affecting consumer acceptance.
ZonMw will carry out this call on behalf of the Top Sector Life Sciences & Health and Agri & Food. Please note that, therefore, the PPP allowance is in place for Dutch research groups instead of the general terms and conditions of ZonMw.
The deadline for submitting full proposals is July 9, 2019.
