Rapid projects support government departments to understand the scientific evidence underpinning a policy issue or area by convening academic, industry and government experts at a single roundtable. The summary meeting notes seek to provide accessible science advice for policymakers. They represent the combined views of roundtable participants, and are not statements of government policy.

This note summarises an expert roundtable held in April 2024, discussing what we already know about microbiome manipulation via diet, prebiotic and probiotic, and other interventions, and what the research gaps are.
