The Joint Programme Initiative “A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life” (JPI HDHL) recently launched a new call in the emerging field of nutrition and epigenetics. The initiative has been established to coordinate research in the areas of food, diet, physical activity and health, in order to achieve tangible societal and health impacts and to strengthen European leadership and competitiveness in this field.

The aim of this call is to support transnational, collaborative research projects that gain a better understanding of the diet-epigenome relationships and their effect on human health. This will allow the development and substantiation of intervention strategies for treating nutrition-related diseases and sustaining good health throughout the life course.

Research consortia must be international and multidisciplinary, uniting epigenetic researchers, nutrition scientists and scientists from other relevant disciplines.

There will be a two-stage procedure for joint applications to this call. Pre-proposals must be submitted in electronic format by 12 April 2018, 16:00 CEST. Successful proposals will be invited by the Joint Call Secretariat to submit a full proposal.

Please find the Call in full detail at http://www.healthydietforhealthylife.eu/index.php/open-calls.

In case you have any questions or would like to seek a personal consultation on the funding opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact the EPC staff.
