The Peanut Institute Foundation (TPIF) is a non-profit entity that funds peanut nutrition research. We are currently requesting proposals that increase our understanding of how the consumption of peanuts, peanut butter, and other peanut products affects human health. All novel and noteworthy proposals related to this topic will be reviewed. Areas of interest include: brain health (eg., cognition/mental health/sleep quality); cancer prevention and management; vascular health; type 2 diabetes; child health and obesity; energy and vitality (eg., weight management, fitness, appetite, satiety, nutrient/energy absorption or bioavailability, inflammation). We are also interested in projects that incorporate themes of food as medicine, health equity, and healthy aging, and personalized nutrition. Other research areas that increase the understanding of peanut consumption and human health are also encouraged. A suggested minimum funding amount of $25,000 not to exceed $250,000 is requested.
