Discovery and Biological Signatures of Diet Derived Microbial Metabolites (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-AT-18-003 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Evidence is building that low molecular weight compounds, derived from interaction of dietary constituents and other natural products with the microbiome, have important biological activity in animal models. This initiative seeks to characterize the compounds produced by microbial metabolism of dietary phytochemicals, identify the commensal bacteria responsible for their production and establish the biological signatures that define their interaction with a biological system.
