Grant Guidelines

The J. R .Albert Foundation has the following funding priorities:

• University-related research related to nutrition, and the effects on health of proper nutrition and exercise.

• Dissemination of results of nutrition research to those it most benefits.

• Programs educating at-risk populations on nutritional practices.

• Training of educators and other mentors to aid in distribution of health and nutrition information.

We give high priority to programs dealing with the epidemic of obesity, particularly childhood obesity, in this country.

We do not fund programs outside the United States, or those with religious or political affiliations. We don't in general fund conferences, seminars, or think-tanks.

Most of our grants are between $10,000 and $50,000, although larger requests will be considered.  Deadline for grant submissions is Dec. 31 of each calendar year. The board will decide on the allocation of funding at its annual meeting in May, and recipients will be notified in June.
