Food allergy Research

FAI is the world's largest private source of funding for food allergy research. We sponsor basic and clinical research at major medical centers worldwide. We invest in studies to find a cure and to better diagnose and treat food allergy symptoms and complications, including anaphylaxis and chronic diseases of the skin and gastrointestinal tract.

In keeping with the goals recommended by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), FAI seeks to increase:

• The number of researchers and research projects that focus on food allergy;
• The number of institutions with food allergy clinical programs;
• The number of fellows and physicians trained to treat food-allergic patients; and
• The amount of government funding allocated to food allergy research.

FAI’s Medical Advisory Board, which comprises leading experts in the field, identifies and recommends funding for research of high quality and great promise. All grant applications are rigorously peer reviewed.
