Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

How to apply: Although we do not accept unsolicited applications, we are always interested in hearing from people working in nutrition in the UK. If your work is closely relevant to our focus areas, you are welcome to send us a short note introducing yourself and your organisation.
What they don’t fund: We do not usually fund general advice-giving, standalone research, overseas work or activity outside our current priorities.
