Description
The National Honey Board (NHB) initiated its research grant program in 2018 to deepen understanding of honey’s unique benefits for human health and increase awareness of potential benefits associated with honey consumption. The Board works with leading nutrition experts to identify important and impactful research directions and sources projects through requests for proposals.
Funding priorities include antioxidants in honey, anti-inflammatory benefits, digestive health, honey’s role in a healthy dietary pattern, and stress management-related benefits. Research interests also include how honey can help develop habits and rituals that promote wellbeing through food choices, dietary patterns, and stress or mood management. NHB operates under United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversight.
