TMI is an academic research project collecting gut microbe samples from people across the globe. The research question is, what lifestyle and health factors are associated with differences among people? This is important because the field of gut health is moving rapidly, revealing the key role of nutrition and lifestyle in health and disease. TMI is a Citizen Science initiative with projects based at UC San Diego (The American Gut) and King’s College London (The British Gut). Participants donate through Fundrazr to receive a testing kit*. Participants receive a “snapshot” of their microbes while contributing to high quality data for anyone to reuse. Donations can also be made directly through UC San Diego. Corporate partnerships and collaborations form part of the initiative and are acknowledged on the TMI website.
*at the time of writing there is a delay sending kits
