Diet Composition and Energy Balance (R01)

OBJECTIVES:
This funding opportunity invites research applications
investigating the role of diet composition in energy balance,
including studies in both animals and humans.  Collaborations between
basic and clinical researchers, which explore mechanisms underlying
differences in response to diet composition, are particularly
encouraged.  Both short and longer-term studies are encouraged,
ranging from basic studies investigating the impact of micro-or
macronutrient composition on appetite, metabolism, and energy
expenditure through clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of diets
differing in micro- or macronutrient composition, absorption, dietary
variety, or energy density for weight loss or weight maintenance.
