DESCRIPTION:The Nestlé Foundation for the Study of Problems of Nutrition 
 in the World was established in 1966 by a donation by the Nestlé Company 
 on the occasion of its centenary.\n\nThe Nestlé Foundation initiates and 
 supports research in human nutrition with public health relevance in low-i
 ncome and lower middle-income countries.\n\nAt present the Foundation's wo
 rk is primarily concerned with human nutrition research issues dealing wit
 h:\n\n	maternal and child nutrition\, including breastfeeding and compleme
 ntary feeding\,\n	macro- and micronutrient deficiencies and imbalances\,\n
 	interactions between infection and nutrition\, and\n	nutrition education 
 and health promotion.\n\n\nAll submitted grant projects must be accompanie
 d by the ethical approval for the study by all involved institutions. If t
 he ethical approval is not submitted the project can not be accepted for e
 valuation.\n\nWho can apply: The Foundation expects research proposals to 
 be primarily the initiative of local researchers from the developing count
 ries. However the Foundation will be inclined to consider favorably those 
 applications jointly made by scientists from developed countries with thos
 e from developing countries provided it is clear that the initiative will 
 result in capacity building and human resource development in the latter a
 nd the bulk of the budget (at least 75%) is spent in the developing countr
 y.\n\nInterested scientists should first submit a “Letter of Intent” i
 n which they describe very briefly the kind of project they would like to 
 undertake\, including an estimated budget. Instructions for the letter of 
 intent are available on the Foundation website at "Download application fo
 rms and reports".\n\nFunding and Duration: max. USD 300’000 for up to 36
  months\n\nDeadline for Letters of Intent: any time\nDeadlines for applica
 tions: 10 January and 10 May (every year)\n\nFor further information and a
 pplication\, please have a look at the call webpage\, call guidelines\, ho
 w to apply and at the timeline of the call.\n
