Request for Proposals: California Table Grape Commission 2015-16 Health Research Grant Program

Request for Proposals: California Table Grape Commission 2015-16 Health Research Grant Program This year we will be reviewing Letters of Intent for $30,000 grants that may be applied toward any relevant health issue in which grape consumption may have a beneficial impact. The major goal of this program is to fund studies that examine the potential health benefits of grape consumption. To facilitate such studies, the California Table Grape Commission developed a freeze-dried grape powder made from fresh California table grapes, which is to be used for work funded by this grant program. It is not an extract. The powder is a composite of seeded and seedless red, green and black California grapes. As with fresh grapes, the powder is known to contain simple phenolics, resveratrol, flavans (including catechins), flavonols (including quercetin), and anthocyanins. Once again, we are soliciting Letters of Intent first. Following the review of submitted Letters of Intent, finalists will be invited to submit a complete proposal to the commission. Please note: Letters of Intent must be submitted electronically, in a single pdf file. Deadline for submission of Letters of Intent is Tuesday, November 25, 2014 at 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST).
