Extended research partnerships to restore resilience and defeat malnutrition: UniPv's cascade funding call is open


WP 6.4 focuses on restoring resilience in target-specific groups suffering from malnutrition through sustainable dietary patterns. 

The goal is to provide, in collaboration with Spoke 4, a nutritional treatment prototyping foods, supplements, ingredients, and nutraceuticals to prevent and treat malnutrition.

The new prototypes of functional meals, food supplements, ingredients, and nutraceuticals will be tested in preclinical and clinical settings.

The project also includes the development of a user-friendly, personalised, and web-responsive application to remotely promote and monitor the implementation of sustainable dietary patterns for target-specific individuals.

Activities of dissemination and communication relevant to food policy will also be offered within WP 6.4 to ensure a broader impact of the research and its findings.

Task and deliverables

Task 6.4.1.

Implementation of sustainable dietary patterns as nutritional treatment for target specific groups with malnutrition. The task includes the prototyping of foods, supplements, ingredients and nutraceuticals aimed at restoring resilience in specific targets with malnutrition (in connection with Spoke 4). In addition, it is implemented a friendly end user personalised web responsive application for remote promoting and monitoring of sustainable dietary patterns target specific.

Task 6.4.2.

Preclinical and clinical evaluation of new prototypes of functional foods, food supplements, ingredients and nutraceuticals for preventing and treating malnutrition (in connection with Spoke 4).

Task 6.4.3.

Dissemination, communication and food policy (in connection with Spoke 7).
