The Gerber Foundation: Pediatric Research Program

  • May 15, 2020

The mission of the Gerber Foundation is to enhance the quality of life of infants and young children in nutrition, care, and development. The Foundation gives priority to projects of national or regional impact.

The Foundation's Pediatric Research Program provides funding for health or nutrition-related research having a significant impact on issues facing infants and young children from the first year before birth to age three.

The Foundation is particularly interested in fresh approaches to solving newborn or pediatric problems or emerging issues with a predictable time frame to clinical application. Projects should be focused on issues faced by care providers that, when implemented, will improve the health, nutrition, or developmental outcomes for infants and young children.

The Foundation provides research grants in the following categories:

  • Pediatric Health
    The focus of this area is in on promoting health and preventing disease. Support is provided for research projects that will reduce the incidence of serious neonatal and early childhood illnesses or improve cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of development.
     
  • Pediatric Nutrition
    The focus is on assuring adequate nutrition for infants and young children. Funded projects include applied research that evaluates the provision of specific nutrients and their related outcomes in infants and young children.
     
  • Environmental Hazards (Nutrient Competitors)
    The focus is on projects that evaluate the effects of environmental hazards on infants and young children. Supported projects include applied research that documents the impact of environmental hazards on the development of infants and young children.
