Sponsors cont'd: Belgium (Public service of Wallonia, Directorate-General Operational for Economy, Employment and Research), Denmark (Innovation Fund Denmark), France (French National Research Agency), Germany (Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture & Programme Management Agency in the German Aerospace Centre for the Federal Ministry for Education and Research), Ireland (Science Foundation Ireland & Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine), Italy (Ministry of Education, University and Research & Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies), Netherlands (The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development - ZonMw), Poland (The National Centre for Research and Development ), Spain (National Institute of Health Carlos III, Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness), and The United Kingdom (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council - BBSRC), Romania (National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation) and Turkey (The Scientific and Technological Research Council).
Numerous national and international authorities have presented general concepts for identification of biomarkers of disease. However, clear recommendations on biomarkers of nutrition and health are lacking. Reliable biomarkers or biomarker patterns will be crucial in monitoring key biological processes underlying the relationship between human nutrition and health, and will provide important tools for assessing status and efficacy of interventions.
This call focuses on the identification and validation of biomarkers that are modulated by diet and that indicate a change in health status and/or the risk of developing diet-related diseases. Biomarkers of physical activity may be considered alongside diet.
