Elucidating the roles of dietary fat and fatty acid profiles during pregnancy on infant brain health, cognition, and neurodevelopment
Fatty acid profiles during pregnancy and impact on infant brain health
Link to organisation:
Full description:
We are recruiting for a PPIE group in the UK to support a research project on dietary fat and fatty acid profiles during pregnancy, and how it might impact on infant brain health and cognition.
We are seeking pregnant or recently pregnant women with an interest in nutrition, and obstetricians, gynaecologists, or perinatal clinicians. Members will contribute to shaping research questions, interpreting findings, co designing dissemination strategies and identifying future research directions.
Opportunity Deadline
1st June 2026
Payment:
4–5 online sessions (60–90 minutes each), costed at 27.50 per hour, as according to NIHR involve guidelines.
Expenses:
All activities will take place online, and payments will be provided after each session. £5 will be provided per online meeting to cover cost of paper, printing ink, internet connection, and other home sundries.
Organisation
Fatty Acid Research Institute
The Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI) is a non-profit research and education foundation founded by William S. Harris, Ph.D. in order to accelerate discovery of the health effects of fatty acids, most notably, the long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. FARI scientists publish high-quality research studies on the multiple relationships between fatty acid levels and human (and animal) health outcomes to improve our ability to predict risk for disease and suggest ways to reduce risk.
