Description
The Gerber Foundation Research Grants program funds projects that generate new knowledge, tools, or treatments to improve the nutrition, care, and development of infants and young children from pre-birth to age three. The Foundation prioritizes research that addresses everyday or emerging challenges faced by care providers and seeks practical, scalable solutions that can be rapidly implemented to enhance health, nutrition, and developmental outcomes. Projects may focus on new diagnostic tools, treatment regimens, preventative measures, or risk assessment strategies. Both experienced investigators and early-career researchers (novice applicants) are eligible, with separate funding tracks.
