Pilot Grant
The Pilot Grant (PG) Program of the Nestle Foundation provides support for pilot research up to 20’000 USD that has a high potential to lead to a subsequent full research project grant. Usually the Foundation does not support nutritional survey research. Often to be able to identify areas of problems for potential intervention one has to collect baseline data. A pilot study (pre-study or baseline study) will create the needed data for a larger research project. The PG program may assist this. The pilot-study and PG usually represent the starting point for a later full research grant application(i.e. a SRG or LRG) to the Foundation.
Deadlines are always January 10th and May 10th.
