FAAN is pleased to share with you some encouraging news on the food allergy research front – federal funding for studies conducted by the Consortium of Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) has been renewed for an additional five years.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has committed to a nearly $30 million grant for CoFAR, which was established in 2005, to enable CoFAR to continue to work on developing treatments for food allergy. CoFAR also is expanding its area of focus to include food allergy-associated eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases(EGIDs) and to study the genetic causes of food allergy.
More information is available on the NIH website.
