Welcome to the Early Nutrition
Programming Project website.
This project is a large collaborative investigation into the
long-term consequences of early nutrition by metabolic programming. It brings together
a multi-disciplinary team of scientists from 38 institutions in 16 European
countries.
It is funded under the Food Quality and Safety Priority of the Sixth
Framework Programme for Research and Technical Development of the European
Community (FOOD-CT-2005-007036). The EU is contributing 13.4 million euros
towards a total cost of 16.5 million euros.
The project will run from 2005 to 2010 and is being coordinated by Professor
Koletzko of the Children's Hospital, University of Munich, Germany.
It will investigate early nutrition programming using an approach which
integrates knowledge from randomised controlled trials, prospective
observational studies and animal, cellular and molecular techniques. This
will enable a better understanding of the extent to which nutritional influences
in early life can programme a person's development and metabolism in adulthood.
Other aspects of the project include studies to investigate consumer
attitudes to early nutrition programming and the economic importance of early
nutrition programming.
