Funding-Gerber
Foundation – Pediatric Research Projects: June 1, 2017
Description
The
mission of the Gerber Foundation is to enhance the nutrition, care, and
development of infants and young children. To that end, the foundation is accepting
concept papers for health and/or nutrition-related research projects with
potential to have a significant impact on issues affecting infants and young
children from birth to three years of age.
The
foundation awards grants for research projects focused on issues faced by care
providers that, when implemented, will improve health, nutrition, and/or
developmental outcomes for infants and young children. Projects may address
etiologic mechanisms of disease; new, improved, or less invasive diagnostic
procedures; reduction or elimination of side effects; alleviation of symptoms;
new, improved, or less invasive therapies or treatments; dosage or dosing
requirements or mechanisms for drugs, nutrient supplementation, or other
therapeutic measures (under or overdosing); and preventative measures.
Priority
is given to projects offering a substantial promise of
meaningful advances in prevention and treatment of diseases, as well as those
with broad applicability to the general population on a regional or national
level.
The
total requested grant size should be no more than $350,000.
