The Good Food Institute (GFI): Alternative Protein Research Grant

webinar presenting 2022 request for proposals: May 10th, 19:00 via Zoom: https://bit.ly/3vSjZpp

This RFP seeks research proposals that address pressing scientific and technological challenges facing the alternative protein industry drawn from GFI's Advancing Solutions for Alternative Proteins (ASAP) initiative. Within this RFP, there are two funding mechanisms: Field Catalyst Grants and Discovery Grants

Field Catalyst:

Priority A: Biological processing methods for creating functional plant-based ingredients

Priority B: Animal-free, non-recombinant albumin and transferrin for cultivated meat

Priority C: Creation of flavor components for alternative seafood

Funding: up to $250,000 for up to 2 years. Applicants may request an additional $100,000 for

partnering with outside researchers (who have not received GFI funding prior) and/or industry

stakeholders.

Discovery Grant: designed for proposals that need a small amount of funding at the proof-of-concept level, which could potentially lead to big breakthroughs in the science behind alternative proteins. Projects may focus on a specific end-use application or the development of novel ingredients, methods, tools, and/or technologies.

Funding: up to $100k for 12 months
