| Category | Call for proposal |
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.
The Nestlé Foundation initiates and supports research in human nutrition with public health relevance in low-income and lower middle-income countries.
At present the Foundation's work is primarily concerned with human nutrition research issues dealing with:
- maternal and child nutrition, including breastfeeding and complementary feeding,
- macro- and micronutrient deficiencies and imbalances,
- interactions between infection and nutrition, and
- nutrition education and health promotion.
All submitted grant projects must be accompanied by the ethical approval for the study by all involved institutions. If the ethical approval is not submitted the project can not be accepted for evaluation.
Who can apply: The Foundation expects research proposals to be primarily the initiative of local researchers from the developing countries. However the Foundation will be inclined to consider favorably those applications jointly made by scientists from developed countries with those from developing countries provided it is clear that the initiative will result in capacity building and human resource development in the latter and the bulk of the budget (at least 75%) is spent in the developing country.
Funding and Duration: max. USD 300’000 for up to 36 months
Deadline for Letters of Intent: any time
Deadlines for applications: 10 January and 10 May (every year)
