Nature research awards: Grants for Gut Health

The Global Grants for Gut Health is a competitive programme for investigator-initiated research into the human gut microbiota, supported by Yakult and Nature Research.

The Global Grants for Gut Health will consider proposals one-year for research projects – whether laboratory investigations or clinical studies – that advance understanding of the impact of the gut microbiota on human health.

Applications might relate to:

• The structure, function and diversity of the human microbiome
• The gut-associated immune system and the microbiota’s immunomodulatory capacity
• The role of the gut microbiota in inflammatory and metabolic diseases
• The role of the microbiota in the gut‒brain axis
• Modulation of the gut microbiota, for example through diet, prebiotics, probiotics, transplantation of faecal microbiota or selected species and communities, and modulators of the microbiota composition.

Funding: $100,000 for 1 year. (10% overhead, Non-profit)
