The grant will fund research from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026 to investigate whether a berry-rich diet can preserve intestinal barrier function and prevent the onset of hypertension using a preclinical rat model....
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $649,753.00, was provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant supports research at North Carolina State University (NC State) to investigate the relationship between the chlorogenic acid content of blueberries and their ability to lower trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels and prevent atherosclerosis. The key products and services to...
This $300,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) project grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), aims to measure the effects of plant growth regulator (PGR) treatments on the volatile chemistry, sugar, and anthocyanin content of strawberries and blueberries. The project has three key objectives: 1) evaluate how three PGR treatments impact flavor volatiles, sugars, and anthocyanins; 2) elucidate the underlying mechanisms by measuring the...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $225,000 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) to the Hudsonalpha Institute for Biotechnology, a non-profit research organization.

The award is funding research and educational activities to: Evaluate the interactions between microbial composition, macromolecular polyphenols, and metabolic signatures related to obesity and chronic disease prevention. This includes both anaerobic fermentation studies and an animal model. Evaluate...
This Project Grant award of $297,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support research at Tuskegee University to investigate the potential health benefits of blueberry polyphenols in preventing metabolic syndrome-induced diabetes. The project aims to process whole blueberries into freeze-dried powders, analyze their polyphenolic content and anti-oxidant/hypoglycemic properties, and then formulate them into feed diets for a...
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded Purdue University a $648,652 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310). The three-year project aims to evaluate the anti-colitic efficacy of blueberry pectin and anthocyanin complexes (BAPC) in ameliorating intestinal barrier dysfunction and bacterial dysbiosis. Specifically, the university will determine: 1) the effective dose of BAPC that suppresses colitis using...
