About the Award
The ILSI North America Future Leader Award, given to promising nutrition and food scientists, allows new investigators the opportunity to add to an existing project or to conduct exploratory research that might not receive funding from other sources. Consideration will be given to individuals proposing research in the areas of experimental nutrition, nutrition and food safety, and nutrition and food science. The grants will extend for a period of 2 years at a funding level of $15,000US per year. Funds may not be used for overhead or to support the investigator's salary. The 2010 award recipients will be selected in late 2009, with funding to begin by mid-2010.
