Nestle Grants |
The Nestle Foundation funds research projects that lead to sustainable improvement of human nutrition.
Areas of research:
- 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
Types of Grants:
a) Training Grant (TG) Program: supports a small research project such as a MSc or PhD thesis project or another training endeavor.
b) Pilot Grant (PG) Program: provides support for pilot research that has a high potential to lead to a subsequent full research project grant. Usually the Foundation does not support nutritional survey research. Often to be able to identify areas of problems for potential intervention one has to collect baseline data. A pilot study (pre-study or baseline study) will create the needed data for a larger research project. The PG program may assist this. The pilot-study and PG usually represent the starting point for a later full research grant application (i.e. a SRG or LRG) to the Foundation.
c) Small Research Grant (SRG): provides support of a small research study. This mayeven represent a continuation of a TG or also a PG.
d) Large Research Grant (LRG)
e) Re-Entry Grants (REG): To encourage the return and re-establishment of post-graduate students into their careers in their own countries, the Foundation will support a research program for eligible candidates. The host institution will need to guarantee a post for the returnee and ensure career development within the host institution. Contribution of support to the eligible candidate from the host institution is essential, while support and collaboration from the overseas institution where the candidate trained is helpful.
Proposal requirements: In cases where Foundation-sponsored research projects are realized in collaboration with scientists at universities and research institutes in high-income countries, at least 75% of the budget has to be earmarked for use within the low-income country.
Duration: between 2 and 3 years, depending on the Type of Grant
Funding scheme:
- Training and Pilot Grants: up to $20,000.
- Small and Re-Entry Grants: up to $50,000.
- large Research Grants: up to $100,000 per year to a maximum of $300,000 for 3 years.
Deadlines: There are two deadlines for submission of applications (January and May), although you can send expressions of interest throughout the year.
