Our Food and Health Research Programme

Our Food and Health Research Programme (FHRP) comprises of 6 priority themes, under each of which we have identified our Areas of Research Interest (ARI). 

Our ARI are the key research questions that FSS needs to address to ensure the delivery of our statutory responsibilities and strategic objectives relating to food safety, public health nutrition and consumer protection is based on robust science and evidence.

Publishing our research priorities helps raise awareness, encourages collaboration with universities and research providers, and keeps us informed about ongoing projects. It also supports proposal development and sponsoring of students and fellowships. It also helps us to identify opportunities for collaboration with other funders to jointly design and co-fund research calls in areas of shared interest.

The 6 priority themes of our FHRP are:
