Description
The Biocodex Microbiota Foundation funds research on human gut microbiota in health and disease through an annual international call. The 2027 theme is “Diet-Microbiome Interactions Shaping Immune Function in the Treatment of Human Disease.” Both clinical and fundamental research proposals are welcome, with projects combining microbiome analysis, immunophenotyping and a dietary component.
Research should be performed primarily in humans within a disease context. Studies exclusively involving healthy subjects are excluded, and experimental validation is expected rather than a purely observational approach. An independent International Scientific Committee chooses the annual theme and reviews proposals for their scientific merit, relevance and benefit to human health. Funding supports researchers working within universities, hospitals or other research settings.
