Adult-Onset Food Allergy Funding Opportunity

About the Opportunity

Food allergy among adults is a more significant issue in the U.S. than previously thought, particularly the emerging health problem of adults developing their food allergies later in life, even after regularly eating foods that were previously harmless. There is a paucity of data on adult-onset food allergy, as the bulk of available studies focus on pediatric populations. More research is needed to understand why one out of four food-allergic adults reports developing their first food allergy in adulthood and how adult-onset food allergies might be prevented.  To address this knowledge gap, FARE is soliciting applications to advance knowledge of adult-onset food allergy while promoting collaboration across its 50+ FARE Clinical Network sites. The total funding amount is $300,000 over two years. Between one and three awards will be conferred. Mandatory Letters of Intent are due by May 31, 2022.
