In 2016 we established the Metabolics Research Fund to support research related to the dietary management of IEMs. All healthcare professionals active in the field of IEMs are eligible to apply to the Fund.
In order to further encourage nutrition-related research, Danone Research & Innovation has extended the Metabolics Research Fund, making €100,000 available for 2020.

However, endorsement by the head of the metabolic centre/institution where the research shall be undertaken is required.
Confidentiality of all submitted applications will be guaranteed.
