Projects can be 12-60 months and have a minimum budget of $300,000. No matching funds are required. The deadline for applying is October 9, 2019.
GFI research grant recipient Dr. Ivana Gadjanski is developing a new generation of sensors to monitor nutrients and biomass during cell-based meat production.
In the middle of a July heatwave, entrepreneurs, scientists, and regulators gathered at the MIT Media Lab for New Harvest's fourth annual conference on cellular agriculture. Here's a taste of what we learned.
GFI research grant recipient Dr. Peter Stogios is exploring how to make growth factors—key proteins for producing cell-based meat—at a fraction of the cost. By focusing on these proteins, Dr. Stogios aims to make all cell-based meat production less expensive.
With a clearer understanding than ever of the impact of industrialized civilization on our home planet, forestalling and reversing the degradation of earth's ecosystems is the next moonshot.
Mari-Liis Tammik is researching oat protein fermentation to optimize the texture, flavor, and nutrition of plant-based meat.
We must adopt a vastly more resource-efficient supply chain. Fortunately, we know how!
GFI's competitive grant program is funding open-access research focused on critical technical barriers with an eye toward large-scale, low-cost cell-based meat production. Explore how these six research projects address the challenges of cost and scale.
In addition to plant and cell-based sources, microscopic organisms may play a big role in shaping a healthier, more sustainable future of protein.
These research initiatives span the entire breadth of the supply chain: from crop breeding to product formulation for plant-based meat and from cell line development to bioprocess scale-up for cell-based meat.
