The Personalized Nutrition Initiative is excited to announce the 2022 Seed Grant program. The aim of this program is to catalyze unique interdisciplinary personalized nutrition-related research across the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. To be eligible for a Seed Grant, the Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs) must be from at least two different departments/colleges and at least one must be an Affiliate member of the Personalized Nutrition Initiative.
We are also pleased to announce that we are partnering with both the Center for Social and Behavioral and Science (CSBS) and the Healthcare Innovation office at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) to co-sponsor Seed Grants as a way to encourage collaborative efforts among personalized nutrition scientists, social and behavioral scientists, and scientists working in advanced computing, software, data, and visualization.
