Description
1) Objective
The Nestlé Foundation supports research in human nutrition with public health relevance in low-income and lower middle-income countries. The Training Grant (TG) Program supports a small research project such as a MSc or PhD thesis project or another training endeavor. At present the Foundation’s work is primarily concerned with human nutrition research issues dealing with: (1) maternal and child nutrition, including breastfeeding and complementary feeding; (2) macro- and micronutrient deficiencies and imbalances; (3) interactions between infection and nutrition, and (4) nutrition education and health promotion.
Studies in other areas of human nutrition research might also be considered, as long as they are dealing with problems of malnutrition in eligible countries. Other areas of research may be eventually considered for support if the applicant can offer specific and convincing evidence and justification for the choice of their research topic.
2) Eligibility
Individual researchers/organisations can apply.
3) Location
The Foundation engages in activities that are in low-income and lower middle-income countries as according to the World Bank.
4) Budget
A training grant has an average budget of up to $20,000 (up to two years) for small research or pilot programs.
5) Application
Timeline for all types of applications are 10th January and 10th May but Letters of Intent (LoI) can be sent anytime. The LoI should describe very briefly the kind of project they would like to undertake, including an estimated budget. Instructions for the LoI are available on the Foundation website. For a submission of a LoI only the downloadable form on the website should be used. All submissions should be made electronically by e-mail using a MS Word File (doc).
