ILSI U.S. and Canada May 4 Science Board Meeting – Topics and Activities Survey

Thank you for your input ahead of the May 4, 2026 ILSI U.S. and Canada Science Board meeting.

For your suggestions, please consider:

Be specific. Instead of “microbiome,” try “the effect of fiber on the microbiome and its role in healthy aging.”
Identify ILSI’s unique contribution. Is another organization already doing this work? What would ILSI add that doesn’t exist elsewhere?
Frame it as a scientific question that needs to be answered, not just a topic area.
Note potential funders in your response.

Before submitting, please think about whether there is a realistic path to funding. For example, which organizations, companies, or agencies might sponsor this work? If a funding source isn’t clear, consider holding the idea for a future meeting.
