TORONTO — George Brown College launched a new initiative to engage municipalities, universities, schools, health agencies and hospitals to improve the diet, physical health and wellness of those in the Greater Toronto Area.
The Helderleigh Nutrition Application Fund will offer $400,000 over a four-year period for nutrition and health-related applied research projects conducted in partnership with the college’s Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts and its Food Innovation & Research Studio.
“The Helderleigh Nutrition Application Fund will create new partnerships that will improve people’s nutrition and healthy eating, drive product innovation and offer our students and faculty practical experience in applied research,” says Robert Luke, VP Research and Innovation at George Brown College.” As a leader in food-and-beverage research, innovation and education for industry, we are excited to be undertaking this new initiative in partnership with The Helderleigh Foundation.”
Project applications will be accepted each summer, fall and winter following a call for proposals, the first of which will take place in the spring. More information can be found at gbcfirst.ca.
