Summary

This funder Grand Challenges call funds innovative research and solutions to overcome biological barriers (inflammation, infection, gut dysbiosis) that limit micronutrient absorption from fortified foods in vulnerable populations. It welcomes early-stage proposals across all development stages that combine mechanistic understanding with scalable, cost-effective interventions integrating novel fortificant formulations, adjunctive therapies, and biomarker validation.

About this grant

The Grand Challenges Addressing Physiological Barriers to Micronutrient Absorption from Fortified Foods invites innovative approaches to understand, measure, and mitigate biological constraints that limit the impact of fortified foods on nutrition and health. This initiative prioritizes proposals that explicitly articulate how inflammation, infection, environmental enteric dysfunction, metabolic conditions, or gut dysbiosis limit micronutrient absorption and utilization, define the target population and context where fortification effectiveness is constrained, provide a strong biological ratio …
