Overview

Supporting promising research is one of the primary ways in which we advance scientific knowledge on the relationship between diet, nutrition and health.
 
Usually we focus on clinical nutrition (in humans), but we may also support fundamental research. Research projects may involve any food or nutrient that could have an impact on human health and is not limited to projects focusing on yogurt or dairy products.
 
Each local Danone Institute is an independent entity that creates and manages its own programs. Thus if you find a funding opportunity which interests you, you should get in touch with the local contact          mentioned in the listing.
