Research projects on Essential Fats
We are looking for research proposals to study the role of EFs in health and disease. We look for collaborating teams whereby we do the fatty acid analyses and other members of the team do other aspects of the research.
Topics of interest include:
The fatty acid metabolic pathways of
individuals with different genetic backgrounds. Different enzyme activities;
genetic differences in enzyme activity, different species.
Skinfold measure
in different diseases.
Changes in fatty acid status and metabolism
in response to different foods.
Evaluating the ability of a particular food
supplement to improve EFA status or the formation and utilization of EFA
derivatives.
Prototype research proposal. Find here a prototype research proposal you can use to submit a proposed project and get approval in your institution.
Prototype informed consent form for IRB.
Submit a letter of interest by e-mail to coolfoods@hotmail.com. Include in the subject heading the words: "Research proposal"

PO Box 10187, Gaithersburg MD 20898-0187 Dear Colleague: My interest is to develop a network of doctors and nutritionists who are interested in nutritional treatment of cardiovascular disease, hypertension and abnormal lipids. I get many calls from people who are concerned about trans fatty acids, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, etc. and would like to be referred to a doctor who will use a nutritional approach. I also want to encourage doctor to evaluate patients for EFA abnormalities. I would like to assist researchers to submit grant applications to supplement their research and analyze fatty acids. I will provide background materials and do the analyses. Alternatively, I will provide the training and licensing so that you can do the fatty acid analyses. Or I can submit the grant myself (lowest priority because I have many projects). I have money to pay for small pilot projects that can lead to reportable articles and grant applications. I am particularly interested in getting blood samples from minority subjects, women on low fat low calorie diets, infants and children. Sincerely, |
