MOST-ERA Net HDHL-JPI Joint Transnational Research Proposals: Development of targeted nutrition for prevention of undernutrition for older adults (PREVNUT)

This is a preliminary announcement. The call is scheduled to open on 20^th January 2020.

Supports transnational, collaborative research regarding the prevention of undernutrition in European older citizens through the consumption of appropriate nutritious food.

Focus on:

1. Improved understanding of how the balance between diet and physical activity can prevent undernutrition. The studies should focus on the underlying biological mechanisms of the bioavailability, assimilation and metabolism of the macro- and/or micronutrients in food or food products and show how physical activity could modify these processes.
2. Development of innovative food products. The developed product should be based on new research on metabolism, on macro- and/or micronutrient bioavailability and absorption in older adults. Each consortium must involve three to six PI partners from three different countries. No more than two partners from the same country in each consortium.

Total funding for all Israeli participants: €200K for 3 years.
