Nutritional scientist training

[From Philanthropy News Digest] The Dannon Institute, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to promoting research, education, and communication about the link between nutrition and good health, created the Dannon Institute Nutrition Leadership Institute to exemplify its commitment to the development of leadership in nutritional sciences and the promotion of excellence in research.

The program is designed to equip outstanding nutritional scientists at an early stage of their careers with the leadership skills and broad perspective necessary to achieve their professional potential.

The Dannon Institute Nutrition Leadership Institute consists of an intensive five-day training program designed to provide participants with strategies for improving their ability to lead others in both their place of employment and in the field of nutrition.

To be eligible, applicants must have earned a doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent) in nutrition or a related subject. Preference is given to those who have completed their doctoral training in the last three to five years. Physicians who are completing their postdoctoral training, regardless of the number of years since they received their medical degree, are also eligible for the program. Applicants must be citizens of the U.S., Canada, or Mexico, or permanent residents of the U.S.

The Dannon Institute will provide participants with travel to and from the program site in Maryland; accommodations and meals at Aspen Wye River Conference Center in Queenstown, Maryland, for five nights; and materials, books, and training.

The program is conducted in English and the application must be completed in English.
