Foods for Health Affiliates

Foods for Health Affiliate Community

What is the Foods for Health Affiliate community?

The FFH affiliate community represents a vibrant cluster of OSU faculty and other investigators engaged in research that aligns with the mission and vision of FFH and work within and across our research pillars of crop & food improvement, precision nutrition, food perception & behavior, and multi-omics analysis. Building this community is a key function of FFH and we strive to deliver programming in support of team science that leads to successful multidisciplinary research collaborations. 

Faculty and researchers with PI status self-select to join the FFH affiliate community.  If you're interested in becoming an FFH affiliate please, complete our membership survey. Your responses will be used in the FFH affiliate directory, which serves as a searchable database on areas of expertise and research methods. 

Staff members, students, and external stakeholders can also sign up to receive our communications without joining the affiliate program.  If you have additional questions on how to engage with the Foods for Health Research Initiative, please email ffh@osu.edu
