Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $630,435 Project Grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), awarded April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2029. The research will evaluate the health benefits of bioenhanced eggs containing elevated levels of vitamin D3 or 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) in healthy adult populations. The study will assess the efficacy of these modified eggs in reducing vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency—a significant public health concern in the United States where dietary intakes fall substantially below recommended levels—and will examine their potential effects on gut microbiome composition and overall gastrointestinal health. The research addresses the dual objective of increasing vitamin D availability in the food supply through agricultural biofortification practices while generating evidence to inform dietary guidelines and public health recommendations. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications in prominent scientific journals and presentations at national meetings, with the ultimate goal of validating bioenhanced eggs as a scalable, sustainable dietary intervention and guiding future agricultural production practices in vitamin D supplementation.Federal Grant Award Summary
