Participants came from the following cities: Bogor, Bandung, Jakarta, Bali, Makassar, Malang, Pontianak, Medan, Surabaya, Manado, Yogyakarta, and Semarang. The titles of the manuscripts varied from breastfeeding, supplementation, positive deviance, food security, functional food, to prebiotic. The participants found the workshop very useful. Manuscript writing workshop is seldom conducted in universities.
The book was written to answer the need of a general guide to healthy eating and lifestyle, due to the increase trend of overnutrition and to re-socialize to the public the basic messages of Nutrition Guidelines. The book is co-written by Scientific Members of the Indonesian Danone Institute Foundation with reporters of Nakita, a tabloid providing information on child’s growth. The Nutrition Guidelines is depicted in a “Tumpeng Gizi Seimbang” * designed to accommodate the four main messages:
In the Introduction, the problem of double burden nutrition in Indonesia, the importance of intervention at the period of ‘Window of Opportunity’, as well as the difference between the previous famous message ‘4 Sehat dan 5 Sempurna’ and ‘Balanced Diet’ was explained. In the next 7 chapters afterward, specific nutritional messages for various stages in life were elaborated. The book is divided into 7 age groupings, namely, pregnant & lactating women, children 0-2 years, 3-5 years, 6-9 years, adolescence 10-19 years, adult, and elderly. In each chapter, four common themes are discussed: specific condition and problems, nutritional needs, and principles of balanced diet covering the above 4 main messages. At the end of each chapter, suggested food pattern and combination of menu were included. At the annex the following information were attached: example of recipes, Ukuran Rumah Tangga (conversion to household measures), Bahan Makanan Penukar (Food Conversion List), Tabel Angka Kecukupan Gizi (Nutrients Recommendation Table), and Body Mass Index table for adult and elderly.

The Foundation with its scientific partners, the Food and Nutrition Society of Indonesia and the Indonesian Scientific Society for Probiotics and Prebiotics conducted a one-day Workshop on Lactose Nutrition: the Diagnostic and Health Policy Legitimacy of Lactose Intolerance’. The workshop was held on Saturday, August 8th 2015 at Hotel Borobudur, Jakarta, Indonesia. There were 38 participants from varied academic and research institutions, government agencies (Ministry of Health) and relevant health professional organizations.
The objectives of the workshop were: 1) to update the cutting-edge knowledge and provide current understandings on the dimension of Lactose Nutrition; 2) to identify research gaps in Lactose Nutrition and recommend strategic approaches built on current evidence; and 3) to develop a networking forum on Lactose Nutrition for effective collaboration amongst stakeholders.
The results from this workshop were:1) conducting a study on prevalence of acute GI symptoms with serving of dairy intake in various group (ethnic, dietary pattern, region, age) in Indonesia; 2) doing the literature review of mechanism of lactose and calcium absorption, SCFA (acetic acid and butyric acid) and linear growth.
Based on that results therefore the next step: forming Ad Hoc Special Committee on Lactose Nutrition to develop protocol food-based lactose tolerance test. The proceeding of this workshop were published in Special Issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Volume 24, Supplement 1, December 2015.
In this year, Japan Society of Nutrition and Food Science, Federation of Asian Nutrition Societies (FANS) was appointed to carry out the Asian Congress of Nutrition. ACN 2015 held in Pacifico Yokohama on May 14th – 18th 2015. The total number of attendees to participate in this Congress was nearly 20.000.
The goal of this congress was to encourage among food and nutrition researchers in Asia. Nowadays, the science of food and nutrition has had a drastic role change and nutrition and food scientists should take a note of the health trends, environmental concerns, and the changing economic climate. In developing countries, the problems of famine and malnutrition are still a huge burden, while in developing countries, the increament of prevalence in obesity and lifestyle-related diseases has become a major issue, and the public concern has shifted from deficiency to over-nutrition during the last half century.
Therefore, in this Asian Congress of Nutrition 2015, several talented researchers were presented their researches either oral or poster presentations. Besides, the scientific program of the Congress consisted of symposia and workshops including invitational plenary sessions, special lectures and debates on the current problems of human nutrition and food sciences.

Writing scientific paper out of research work is also challenging for IDIF research grantees even though most of them were PhD candidates. Out of 40 research grants, which have been provided by IDIF within 2007-2012, there were about 20% with delayed (relative to the contract period) or no publications yet. These recurring cases were captured as a hint on the needs of direct assistance for the local researchers to improve both their writing skill and ability to scientifically publish their work. The IDIF team, together with the consultant (LW), had organized this workshop for providing highly intensive tutorial sessions for local researchers on manuscript writing and publication in a peer-review journal. For this, IDIF had collaborated with Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition (APJCN) to hold the 1st real-time manuscript writing workshop on December 9th – 10th, 2016 at Double Tree Hotel, Jakarta, Indonesia. To create a conducive scientific environment, the event was designed to be less formal, yet it gave more opportunities for authors to have direct discussions with their tutors within those two consecutive days. The tutors consisted of the IDIF Scientific Members, the consultants, and also the Chief Editor of APJCN. The final selection of manuscripts for publication was done by the Chief Editor of APJCN on the last day of the workshop. This design applied the concept of real-time, which potentially minimize ‘the loss of momentum’ (Most of our scientists might not have the ‘luxury’ to write and publish their works once they come back to their hectic working environment) by ensuring immediate manuscript final editing and publication by the authors. Staging of activities from planning the workshop to the final selection of manuscripts illustrated is presented below:
As stipulated in the By Laws, Indonesian Danone Institute Foundation had established a Special Committee on Lactose Nutrition Research as recommended during the workshop on Lactose Nutrition held in Jakarta last year. The first kick off meeting of this Committee was held in Jakarta at Double Tree by Hilton Hotel on December 12th 2016. The objective of this meeting was to develop a strategic roadmap on Lactose Nutrition Research (LNR) contains strategies; 3-M (man ‐ power, materials, and money) and infrastructure; plan of actions. The purpose of this meeting was to establish a well-design and sustainable Lactose Nutrition Research in Indonesia.
Members of Special Committee are:
In this year the Foundation also conducted The First Research Management Briefing Notes for the grantees to share the information and mechanisms related research grant management issues in the Foundation. The milestone of Competitive Research Grant in year 2016 is presented below:
The Milestone of Competitive Research Grant 2016
The 4th Global Summit on the Health Effects of Yogurt took place during the annual Experimental Biology meeting in San Diego, US, on the 6th April, 2016. The symposium focused on: ‘Yogurt & (Type 2) Diabetes, translating evidence into practice’.
Scientific Members visiting Nutricia Early Life Nutrition (ELN) Lab at Biopolis, Singapore was conducted on May 24th 2016. The program of this event consisted of Nutricia Research and the Research Satellite in Singapore; Guided Tour around the research facilities (Gut Microbiology Lab and Immunology Lab); The relevance of the Gut Microbiota in the First 1000 Days: nutrition intervention for C-section; and Alimentation.
The 8th Annual Hydration for Health Scientific Congress, Evian, France is a annual scientific event on hydration and health. This event was located in Palais Lumiere, Evian, France. There were 159 scientists from varied academic and institution around the world and 32 from EASO. The experts from Indonesia consisted of Dr. Budi Wiweko (Chairperson of IHWG), Dr. Aida Riyanti (Vice-Chairperson of IHWG), Dr. Rina Agustina (SIG Nutrition of IHWG), and Dr. Widjaja Lukito (Indonesian Danone Institute Foundation). Indonesian Experts invited by H4H were Dr. Saptawati Bardosono (FKUI) as one of speakers and Pr. Hardinsyah (IPB, Pergizi Pangan) as H4H Expert Working Group.
Danone Institute International Meetings, Paris, France was held on November 24th – 25th 2016. These meetings consisted of Danone Institute Delegates Meeting and Danone Institute Assembly Meeting. There were several news flashes which were: 25th Danone Institute France Anniversary, DI Germany closed, Healthy Eating Habits Initiatives and Alimentation Initiatives, and DI contributions expected to be received in March 2017.
SharePoint Online is a cloud-based service that helps Indonesian Danone Institute Foundation (IDIF)’s employees share and collaborate with coworkers, and in the near future also with external users such as scientific members, grantees and other participants. With SharePoint Online, the employees can access internal sites, documents, and other information from anywhere—at the office, at home, or from a mobile device.
A site collection is a group of websites. A site collection has a top-level site and one or more subsites below it. IDIF has a site collection with three subsites. The top-level site is called Indonesian Danone Institute Foundation Team Site, and the three subsites are Finance, Human Resource, and Data Bank, as shown in Picture 1. IDIF can have more than one site collection if required. For example, if IDIF needs to share content externally, they need to create a site in a totally separate site collection for security reason.
IDIF had implemented Project Monitoring and Evaluation System for 2 years, using Microsoft Project Pro 2013 as its application. The intensive training in 2015 and coaching in 2016 had provided the skills which IDIF’ staff needed to implement the system. The system had been used to monitor research projects granted in 2014. Some of the phases in the system including building schedules (planning) and collecting actuals, were obtained from Grantees. Those phases were manually completed where Excel Sheet was used as a medium to build the schedules and collect the actuals, and later send them to IDIF. The Grantees had experienced some confusion about the format of schedule and actual that they had to follow.
Since its establishment, YIDI had made contributions in funding a variety of researches and published numerous scientific publications in the field of nutrition and health. Reviews and appraisal for conducted researches using the fund from YIDI were considered necessary to improve the future research quality.
For the development of future researches, YIDI will continue developing data bank and its standardization which will be used to re-analyze the aggregate data and generate systematic review as well as meta-analysis.
By developing standardization in critical appraisal, it is expected it could be used as the reference in assessing the researches funded by YIDI. The appraisal report is expected to provide feedback to YIDI and as well as to the researchers regarding the matters which need attention as the improvement for further researches.
As the reflection of continuous supports on research and research results dissemination in its service country, the Foundation held the 2nd scientific writing workshop following the success of the 1st workshop. Similarly, a real-time approach was re-introduced to closely assist local scientists in writing their research results in meeting the standard of submission to a peer-review journal. Direct tutorials were delivered by a group of local experts and two resource persons from Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition (APJCN). This was also the second time partnership with HEC Press in Melbourne, Australia – the publisher of APJCN, the leading scientific journal at Asia Pacific Region.
Learning the experiences from the 1st workshop, staging of activities from planning to implementation of the 2nd workshop was modified into 12 steps as illustrated below:

In 2017, The Foundation has invited as participant in several FGDs dan Capacity Building on “Potential Collaboration Schemes among Research Funding Institutions in Indonesia”. These events were held by Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education and World Bank with the aim to improve the competitiveness of Indonesia in science-based economic development in accordance with NAWACITA and Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN) 2015-2019 from the Government.
Danone Institute International Meetings, Paris, France was held on November 24th – 25th 2016. These meetings consisted of Danone Institute Delegates Meeting and Danone Institute Assembly Meeting. There were several news flashes which were: 25th Danone Institute France Anniversary, DI Germany closed, Healthy Eating Habits Initiatives and Alimentation Initiatives, and DI contributions expected to be received in March 2017.
Based on a study that has been done by Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education in 2016, one of the problems of governance research funding in Indonesia is the allocation of research funds in various institutions that have not been well coordinated. Therefore, below is the list of some activities held by the Ministry to map the problems and find the solutions.
The users have followed the recommendation to continue with the SharePoint document migration in an iterative approach with the help of SharePoint professional.
The last phase from the iterative approach was training the users in order to strengthen the user adoption. The training covered document management features and team collaboration tools.
Having followed the recommendation to continue with the SharePoint document migration in an iterative approach with the help of SharePoint professional, the users have gained sufficient skills to design and configure the sites.
IDIF has decided to hand over the task for updating the Grantees’ schedules and actuals. The system has been monitoring research projects granted in 2016.
Having demonstrated Microsoft Project’s features to Grantees for how they manage, schedule, and view projects, we did not find any problems which happened in 2016. The Grantees have also been explained for using an Excel form to report their research schedules and actuals.
Since its establishment, YIDI has made contributions in funding a variety of researches and published numerous scientific publications in the field of nutrition and health. Reviews and appraisal for conducted researches using the fund from YIDI were considered necessary to improve the future research quality.
For the development of future researches, YIDI will continue developing data bank and its standardization which will be used to re-analyze the aggregate data and generate systematic review as well as meta-analysis.
In this year, the Foundation aims to know the financial analysis that has been given to the grantees (from the proposal to the publication) and other activities related to the funding of the Foundation. Besides, the Foundation also provides data management consultations related to the development of data bank and assesses the accuracy of the grantees in meeting the time frame of the study and reports to the Foundation.
Considering the achievements of the objective and purpose of the previous workshop as indicated by its final outcome and impact, the Foundation has conducted the 3rd workshop. In this year, the Foundation focused on “Maternal contributors to intergenerational nutrition, health, and well-being: revisiting the Tanjungsari Cohort Study for effective policy and action in Indonesia”. This study has a good reputation and has inspired the Government of Indonesia in evidence-based policy formulation. Therefore, the Foundation supported this cohort study to be better known and its research findings can be used for policy or further researches.

In the year 2018, the Foundation has extended its membership in Filantropi Indonesia. This action aims to strengthen institutional capacity and develop the space motion of philanthropy as well as strained relations between the Foundations with other independent institutions.
Project Monitoring using Microsoft Project was very useful to follow the progress research of the Grantees. The schedules and actuals have been monitored every three months by sending an email about the late task of their research work. In this year, the Foundation has completed 6 grantees.
Since its establishment, the Foundation has contributed to various research funding and has produced many scientific publications in the fields of nutrition and health. For this reason, it is felt the need to conduct economic analysis in order to make efficient funds used by the Foundation. Besides that, we also continue to conduct appraisal from studies conducted under the Foundation’s funding to improve quality and improve further research and also assess the accuracy in meeting the research time frame and in collecting reports to the Foundation.
Likewise, with the development of further research, the Foundation will continue to develop data banks and standardization of variable naming, so that the data will be ready for re-analysis in the aggregate and produce systematic reviews and meta-analyses and develop a database structure.
In this year, the Foundation has conducted an economic analysis of the grantees (from research proposals to publications) and other activities related to the funding; critical appraisal on IDIF-funded studies; an assessment of accuracy in meeting the research time frame and in collecting reports to IDIF.
