Research Proposals

Amino acids have become popular as dietary supplements and in certain situations may be consumed in amounts greater than those encountered in the normal diet. The International Council on Amino Acid Science (ICAAS) is exploring scientific matters related to all aspects of safety, quality and use of amino acids. With its belief that any use of amino acids should be based on scientifically sound and responsibly controlled data, ICAAS has held a series of international workshops to discuss how to establish a paradigm for determining and/or predicting safe upper levels of amino acid intake for humans under various conditions, and started an annual research funding program to invite research proposals meeting objective specified below.
