The federal Project Grant award of $225,000.00 was made by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) to Colorado State University. The funding will support research to develop a standard profile of potato carbohydrates and phytochemicals (PCAP) and determine their effects on gut health using a multi-omics approach. The long-term goal is to improve access to healthy and sustainable sources of nutrients, especially for socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, while also boosting economic viability for potato growers and stakeholders. The research project will run from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026.
