The "IAEA
Nobel Cancer and Nutrition Fund" was created to use the IAEA’s share of
the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize 2005 for capacity building in two priority
areas in health, cancer and childhood nutrition. In nutrition, the overall
aim is to contribute to capacity building by disseminating information about
the usefulness of stable isotope techniques in the development and
monitoring of nutrition programmes to combat malnutrition, in particular in
infants and children.
Fund-supported fellowship awards will target young professionals, especially
women, from developing countries, through the IAEA’s Technical Cooperation
Programme. Alongside such awards, regional events – “IAEA Nobel Peace Prize
Fund Schools for Nutrition” - will be organized in Africa, Asia and the
Pacific and in Latin America during October/December 2006.
The IAEA Nobel Peace Prize Fund Schools for Nutrition will be open to
participants from IAEA Member States and is intended for policy makers and
professionals with relevant background in nutrition.
