2012 Education Research Grants

 

Education and Research Grants are available to educational research institutions that advance food science, nutrition and closely related technologies within the Scifts geographical area.   Funding proposals will be evaluated on the potential contribution to further knowledge in the fields of food science and nutrition, and on the potential contribution to develop students as competent scientific investigators or educators in these disciplines.  The emphasis is to enhance programs that will benefit a large segment of the student population.  Applications should not emphasize the research goals of single students or faculty representatives.
