The primary goal of the Food Allergy Initiative (FAI) is to find a cure for life-threatening food allergies. In addition to funding research worldwide, FAI sponsors clinical activities to improve diagnosis and treatment; public policy initiatives; and educational programs to make the hospitality industry, schools, day care centers, and camps safer.
FAI provides the media with the most up-to-date information about food allergies, including leading-edge research and treatment. In addition, we will be happy to arrange interviews with prominent researchers and other experts, patient advocates, and individuals living with food allergies.
