FUTURE LEADER AWARD
The ILSI North America Future Leader Award is given annually to promising nutrition and food scientists, allowing new investigators the opportunity to conduct exploratory research that might not receive funding from other sources. Consideration will be given to individuals proposing research in the areas of nutrition, food safety, and food science. Grants extend for a period of 2 years at a funding level of $15,000 USD per year. Funds may not be used for overhead or to support the investigator's salary. The 2012 award recipients will be selected in the 4th quarter of 2011, with funding to begin by mid-2012. Submission deadline for the 2012 award is Friday, 17 June 2011.
