DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Good Food Institute (GFI) is a global nonprofit bui
 lding a sustainable\, healthy\, and just food system. GFI and its Science 
 & Technology Team specifically work to catalyze research and development t
 o improve the organoleptic properties\, price point\, and production capac
 ity of plant-based and cell-based meat products. To that end\, GFI establi
 shed a Research Program in 2018\, made possible by the generous donations 
 of philanthropic supporters. This program supports essential research desi
 gned to solve many of the challenges facing these industries and seeks to 
 create open-access tools and methods for the development of appetizing\, a
 ffordable\, and widely available alternative protein products.\n \nThis R
 FP seeks research proposals that will address the organoleptic properties 
 of plant-based and cell-based meat products\, their cost\, and/or the scal
 e-up of production processes. Projects may focus on a specific end-use app
 lication or the development of novel ingredients\, methods\, tools\, and/o
 r technologies. All funded projects will have primary applications to food
  products that replace animal-based foods and are intended for human consu
 mption.\n\nFunding:        max. $250’000\n \nDuration:      m
 ax. 2 years\n \nEligibility: Applications submitted from any sector (acad
 emia\, government\, industry\, nonprofits\, etc.) and from around the worl
 d will be considered. Graduate students or postdoctoral researchers may se
 rve as the lead investigator on a project\nproposal. If invited to submit 
 a Phase 2 application\, a brief letter of support signed by a faculty memb
 er at the student or postdoc’s higher education institution must be subm
 itted.\n \nHow to Apply: The application process involves two steps. Phas
 e 1 applications can be completed by any eligible applicant. To complete a
  Phase 1 application\, applicants should fill out the information in this 
 form. Specific instructions for completing a Phase 2 application will be p
 rovided to successful Phase 1 applicants at the time they are invited to p
 articipate in Phase 2.\n \nDeadline:      28-Oct-2019\n \nFurther i
