Each year the Botanical Research Center funds research support grants for investigators and post-doctoral researchers at our three research institutions. The major objective of this program is to provide research support to test innovative hypotheses involving functional foods or bioactive compound-related research and their effects on metabolic pahtwyas leading to obesity, insulin resistance and Type II Diabetes, or their co-morbidities. It is hoped that a pilot project award will generate enough preliminary data for the investigator to obtain research funding by conventional mechanisms.
