The National Peanut Board (NPB) is now accepting inquiries for its second annual request for proposals (RFP) for food allergy research grants. The call for applications is open through May 9, 2025.
This year, NPB has increased total grant funding to $550,000, which will be awarded to qualified projects aimed at advancing food allergy solutions. Interested applicants can submit a Letter of Inquiry here.
NPB prioritizes research that drives significant impact in four key areas of food allergy, with an emphasis on peanut: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management. Health equity is a primary lens through which projects will be evaluated, and early-career researchers are encouraged to apply.
“Research is a critical part of achieving the ultimate goal of ending peanut allergy—for farmers and for families,” said NPB President and CEO Ryan Lepicier. “After the success of our inaugural process last year, the board supports expanded funding to build our knowledge, improve transparency, and increase the variety of projects we fund.”
