The objectives of the structuring projects program are to generate preliminary results in support of new applications to granting agencies by Centre NUTRISS researchers; to promote the development of new analyses that can be used by other Centre NUTRISS researchers and to develop new structuring projects for the Centre NUTRISS, thereby contributing to innovation and the evolution of its research program.
