Translational Innovation Hub for Population Health using Food and Nutrition approaches to enhance Positive Physiology (The RIPEN Hub)

我们的创新中心申请主题1“了解食品成分与人体生理学之间的相互作用”，由来自学术界和工业界的世界级领导者组成，他们共同打造了一个定制的创新中心。该代表由两家在食品和营养研究领域享有盛誉的重要学术机构领导：即伦敦帝国理工学院（ICL）和萨里大学（UoS），以及一家国际食品和饮料制造商百事公司。整个中心目前涵盖了另外10个学术机构，以及食品行业和中小企业、民间团体、慈善机构、政府和一个多元化的外部咨询委员会的主要成员，因此我们已经拥有了一个拥有100多名成员的中心，我们希望以指数方式增长。我们的世界级创新中心，最终将提供环境和思想领导力，使合作能够协同工作，开发创新的解决方案和转化途径，以揭示食品成分与人体生理之间的复杂关系。该中心的最终目标是支持更健康饮食的发展，从而提高国民健康水平。一个共同的目标将是创造有助于减少英国人口中肥胖和非传染性疾病风险的发展途径。这一目标将通过影响账户项目和教育计划来实现。该中心每年将设立与科学、产业、社会相同的5个优先领域。我们将使用黑客马拉松的方法来开发这五个领域。这个年度优先级设置将对所有Hub成员开放。这五个优先级设置将推动hub今年的活动1。这五个优先领域将用于为影响账户项目发出年度呼吁。这些广告将在全国范围内进行宣传，所有符合BBSRC机构标准的人都可以参加比赛。从申请中，得分最高的将获得资助，直至影响账户的限额。每个项目将通过与中心管理部门的定期联系来支持。该教育项目将每年举办一次年会、学术工业合作伙伴快速网络、在线更新会议和早期职业科学家会议。主题领域将是该中心在特定年份的五个优先领域。从我们的十个学术合作伙伴、众多大小行业以及慈善机构、民间团体和政府的初始成员中，可以看出对中心的热情。最后，该中心将采取措施，通过为影响资助项目提供下一步支持，加强学术产业伙伴关系。这将包括后续资助的指导。

Our Innovation Hub Application under Theme 1 "Understanding the Interplay between Food Components and Human Physiology" comprises world-class Leaders from academia and industry, who together have crafted a bespoke Innovation Hub. The representation is led by two key Academic Organisations with outstanding reputations in food and nutrition research: namely, Imperial College London (ICL) and the University of Surrey (UoS) together with an international food and beverage manufacturer PepsiCo. The overall Hub currently spans a further ten Academic Institutions as well as key members of the food industry and SMEs, Civil Societies, Charities, Government and a diverse External Advisory Board, such that we already have a Hub of over 100 members and we would look to grow this exponentially. Our world-class Innovation Hub, which will ultimately provide the environment and thought-leadership to enable collaborations to work in synergy to develop innovative solutions and translational pathways related to uncovering the complex relationships between food components and human physiology. The Hub's ultimate aim is to support the development of healthier diets, thereby enhancing the Health of the Nation. A concomitant aim will be to create development pathways that will contribute to reducing the risk of obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the UK population. This ambition will be achieved through the Impact Account Projects and the Education Programme. Every year, the Hub will set five priority areas which are same priority areas to Science, Industry and Society. We will use hackathon methodology to develop these five areas. This annual priority setting will be open to all Hub members.These five priority settings will drive the Hubs activity for the year.1. The five priority areas will be used to make an annual call for the Impact Account Projects. These will be advertised nationally, and the competition open to all that meet the BBSRC institutional criteria. From the applications, those scoring the highest, up to the limit of the Impact Account will be funded. Each project will be supported by regular contact with the Hub Management. 2. The Education Programme will run each year an annual meeting, academic industrial partner speed networking, online update meeting and early career scientist meeting. The topic area will be the five priority area for the Hub in the given yearThe enthusiasm for the Hub can be seen through the initial membership of our ten Academic Partners and numerous large and small Industries as well as Charities, Civil Societies and Government. Finally, the Hub will put in place methods to enhance the academic industrial partnership by offering next step support to the Impact Funded Project. This will include Mentorship for Follow-on-Funding.
