Description
Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) has been funding research for over 30 years. DFC is proud to support Canadian research in the areas of nutrition, food science and health and to contribute to the development of a Canadian network of experts in those fields. DFC funds research in order to respond to research gaps related to the role of dairy products in nutrition, health and sustainability.
DFC considers those applications that have nutritional and health implications for Canadian dairy products and are relevant to Canadian dairy farmers. Of specific interest to DFC are research proposals which feature milk products in their entirety, demonstrate technological innovation and utilize a multidisciplinary approach, whenever possible, to address fundamental and applied research questions. Applied human randomized, controlled trials and mechanistic studies in humans are of particular interest.
