NIH Funding on Diet Composition and Energy Balance

This funding opportunity from NIH is for research on diet composition and energy balance. It encourages applications investigating the role of diet composition in energy balance, including studies in both animals and humans. Both short and longer-term studies are encouraged, ranging from basic studies investigating the impact of micro-or macronutrient composition on appetite, metabolism, and energy expenditure through clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of diets differing in micro- or macronutrient composition, absorption, dietary variety, or energy density for weight loss or weight maintenance. The current closing date for applications is May 7, 2010 but multiple receipt dates listed.
