The Award

This competitive award (with generous financial support by the Australian Nutrition Trust Fund) recognises and encourages original research by Mid Career NSA members.

To be eligible, the applicant must be a financial NSA member who was awarded their PhD 5-15 years ago, and in the past 12 months has published a nutrition research paper in a high quality international journal. The applicant must be the the first-named author of the paper.

The award provides generous financial support to support the applicant's attending an international nutrition conference: a cash grant to help cover costs of registration at an international nutrition conference and/or associated airfare and accommodation costs. The applicant must be presenting their research at the conference.

Full details of the award and how to apply will be listed each year when applications are called.

The winner(s) will be selected by an expert NSA committee, on the basis of the paper's scientific quality.
