Dear all,
Consumer Lab is delighted to announce that all of our funding streams are NOW open for applications.
We aim to support academic-industry research projects and placements that relate to human dietary behaviour, and they must address a topic that has the potential to promote a positive change in human health. We encourage applications that:
✅ Develop new ways to study, understand, and measure real-world dietary behaviour.
✅ Draw on biological, social, and psychological research/theory relating to drivers of dietary behaviour.
✅ Focus on dietary transition and changes in food preference or dietary habits over time.
✅ Might be considered ‘high risk/high reward’ or ‘disruptive,’ and have potential as the basis for a springboard to translational research.
✅ Provide a better understanding of dietary behaviours in hard-to-reach (or seldom heard) and marginalised communities.
Funding available:
✅ Flexible mobility awards – up to 100K – To support the mobility of people such as technicians, early career researchers and industrialist researchers to new environments to develop new skills and understanding of different practices.
✅ Business interaction vouchers – up to 50K – To initiate, develop and enhance collaboration between academics and industrialists within diet, health and nutrition.
✅ Feasibility awards – up to 100K – Aimed at promoting more established partnerships that can leverage matched funding (cash or in-kind) from industry that are further down the translation pathway.
Deadlines:
Flexible Mobility Awards: Applications can be submitted at any time and will be reviewed every two months.
BIVs and Feasibility Awards: 15th April 2024 at 9am for Expressions of Interest and 3rd June 2024 at 9am for full applications.
