The British Nutrition Foundation Drummond Early Career Scientist Award recognises early career nutrition scientists (or those working in a related field), whether working in academia, policy or industry, who show great potential to be future leaders in the field. Applications are welcome from any country.

Applicants are required to complete an application form and submit an abstract that could be turned into a mini review describing a topical, emerging area of human nutrition science that would be suitable for submission to the British Nutrition Foundation’s peer-reviewed journal Nutrition Bulletin.  

Full details, including eligibility criteria and information about the previous winner, can be found here.
