Gerber Foundation Seeks Proposals for Pediatric Research Projects

The Gerber Foundation is accepting concept papers for health and/or nutrition-related research projects designed to make a significant impact on issues affecting infants and young children from birth to three years of age.

The foundation awards grants of up to $300,000 for research projects focused on issues faced by care providers that, when implemented, will improve the health, nutrition, and/or developmental outcomes for infants and young children. Projects may address etiologic mechanisms of disease; new, improved, or less invasive diagnostic procedures; reduction or elimination of side effects; alleviation of symptoms; new, improved, or less invasive therapies or treatments; dosage or dosing requirements or mechanisms for drugs, nutrient supplementation, or other therapeutic measures (under or overdosing); and preventative measures.

Priority is given to projects offering a substantial promise of meaningful advances in prevention and treatment of diseases and those with broad applicability to the general population on a regional or national level.

Organizations recognized as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are eligible to apply. In addition, organizations must be determined not to be private foundations under Internal Revenue Code Section 509. No grants are made to individuals.

See the Gerber Foundation Web site for eligibility and application guidelines.
