Mission

To support biomedical research in nutrition and obesity, the Stanford Nutrition and Obesity Center (NORC) invites applications for the Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program.

 Led by Dr. Peter Jackson, Dr. Katrin Svensson, and Dr. Eric Stice, this program aims to foster the development of a community of productive, well-connected investigators whose work leads to advances in nutrition science, and the prevention, cure and treatment of obesity and its complications.

 The focus of the NORC Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program is to provide seed funds for any aspect of obesity-related research, including but not limited to basic sciences, economics, population sciences, translational research and clinical research. The P&F program is focused on funding research proposals by early career investigators, investigators who are new to the nutrition and obesity research field and established researchers with ideas for novel and exciting research directions that have outstanding potential to open areas of nutrition and obesity-related research in diverse scientific disciplines at Stanford.
