The Probiotic and Prebiotic Working Group (PPWG) is a trans-NIH effort that was formed in 2006 as a subgroup of the Division of Nutrition Research Coordination's
Nutrition Coordinating Committee
to identify gaps and challenges in prebiotic and probiotic research. The of goals of the PPWG are to:
Promotes trans-agency collaborations in advancing evidence base of probiotics and prebiotics.
Advance probiotic and prebiotic research and a deeper understanding of the role of gut microbes in human health.
In order to achieve these goals, the working group strives to promote constructive interactions across NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices. We also disseminate real-time information to keep PPWG members abreast of current and future activities occurring in the fields of probiotics and prebiotics.
The PPWG is delighted to add new members planning to play an active role within the group; however, membership is limited to NIH employees. Please e-mail
