Pre-announcement JPI HDHL Cofunded Call

The Joint Programming Initiative Healthy Diet for A Healthy Life (JPI HDHL) announces the fourth Joint Action focussing on pillar 3 ‘diet-related chronic diseases'. The call will be launched on May 23, 2017. Deadline for submitting proposals is August 29, 2017. The intent of this call is to assemble motivated Working Groups of leading scientists in order to push forward the field of diet-related chronic diseases. ZonMw participates on behalf of the Netherlands.

By establishing working groups the JPI HDHL aims to support transnational cooperation and communication between individual researchers, research groups and research organisations in order to merge knowledge, data and research results. This should result in outcomes that are directly available, easy to share and have societal impact. The call focuses on leading scientists and experts in the field to work on conceptualization of topics in order to provide white papers, prospective views, guidelines, or best practice frameworks of value to the wider research community.

JPI HDHL aims to coordinate research on the impact of diet and lifestyles on health, significantly contributing to the construction of a fully operational European Research Area for the prevention of diet-related diseases and strengthening the leadership and competitiveness of research activities in this field.
