The Gerber Foundation is accepting applications for research projects aimed at identifying solutions to common everyday issues and problems in the field of children’s health and nutrition. Of particular interest to the foundation are projects offering substantial promise of meaningful advances in prevention and treatment of disease and those with broad and general applicability.
Research program focus areas identified by the foundation include: Pediatric Health, Pediatric Nutrition, and Environmental Hazards (Nutrient Competitors). Major target areas for research include new diagnostic tools that may be more rapid, more specific, more sensitive, or less invasive; treatment regimens that are novel, less stressful or painful, more targeted, have fewer side effects, and/or provide optimal dosing; symptom relief; preventative measures; assessment of deficiencies or excesses (vitamins, minerals, drugs, etc.); and risk assessment tools or measures for environmental hazards, trauma, etc. The foundation is interested in supporting projects that will result in “new” information, treatments, or tools that result in a change in practice.
