Pilot Projects Funded Through the E.A. Martin Program
|
|
One of the purposes of the Ethel Austin Martin Endowed Program in Human Nutrition is to promote multidisciplinary and collaborative educational and research projects in the area of human nutrition. Funds allotted to this program are determined annually, and typically there are funds available to support 1 or 2 pilot projects that relate to human nutrition and involve collaboration among two or more departments or colleges. Proposals submitted are reviewed and scored by several members of the Ethel Austin Martin Nutrition Committee, as well as internal and external reviewers. Below is a brief summary of the pilot projects chosen between 1998 and 2000.
