The NCCIH is sponsoring the Centers for Advancing Research on Botanical and Natural Products (CARBON) Program. Research scheduled for 2015-2020 includes:
- Dietary Botanicals in the Preservation of Cognitive and Psychological Resilience, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City
- Botanicals and Metabolic Resiliency, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge
- Botanical Dietary Supplements for Women’s Health, University of Illinois at Chicago
- Center for High-throughput Functional Annotation of Natural Products, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas; Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
- Center for Natural Products Technologies, University of Illinois at Chicago
- Mechanisms, Dose and Target Tissues, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Botanical Interaction Studies, University of Missouri
- Botanical Lipids and Inflammatory Disease Prevention, Wake Forest University
The goal of this center in it’s second five-year research cycle is to delineate molecular mechanisms by which botanical oils prevent or impact disease with a particular focus on immunity and inflammation. The study will study different populations to determine where botanical lipids are most likely to be effective.
