The Nestle Nutrition Institute offers research
grants in the fields of young women’s health, mother and child health and
nutrition.
We offer these fellowship grants to health
professionals from anywhere in the world applying for post-graduate research
training. The duration of the training can last up to 6 months. All
institutions offering a training programme in the area of Maternal and/or Child
Health and Nutrition are eligible to be a host institution.
Fellowship value
The NNI will cover the fellow’s roundtrip travel
to the host Institution, lodging expenses and a monthly stipend in addition to
any host institution fees and some study related expenses up to 20’000 CHF. The
amount of 20’000 CHF applies for the longer length projects. A proportion of
