Applications for Dannon Co.'s 2016–2017 Gut Microbiome, Yogurt and Probiotics Dannon Fellowship Grant program are due on February 15, 2017. This grant program is a part of the company's continued commitment to support scientists and advance cutting-edge research across the country. In honor of the program’s fifth year, Dannon will announce two $25,000 grant award recipients instead of one. The company hopes this extra funding will boost interest in the program as well as promote the microbiome and probiotics as areas of study.
“Because the past four programs have garnered substantial interest among the educational community, we’ve decided to double our investment and offer two Fellowship Grants to students focused on research of the gut microbiome and the functional and nutritional benefits of yogurt and probiotics,” says Miguel Freitas, vice-president of health affairs at Dannon.
Applications are due Feb. 15, 2017. The program is open to current undergraduate or graduate students, or postdoctoral scholars.
