The Gerber Foundation—Pediatric Health Research

The Foundation awards grants in three focus areas: pediatric health, pediatric nutrition, and environmental hazards. The foundation is particularly interested in fresh approaches to solving common, everyday problems or emerging issues within the defined focus areas. Projects should focus on issues faced by care providers that, when implemented, will improve the health, nutrition and/or developmental outcomes for infants and young children. The board is particularly looking for practical solutions that can be easily and rapidly implemented on a broad scale with a predictable time frame to clinical application. Priority is given to projects that improve the nutrition, care and development of infants and young children from the first year before birth to three years of age.
