Scope of the grant:
ESPEN is dedicated to advancing translational nutrition science by bridging mechanistic knowledge and clinical implementation. In line with its bench-to-bedside mission and its commitment to addressing unmet needs in clinical nutritional practice, ESPEN supports innovative research that applies existing nutritional and mechanistic knowledge to clinical settings. Proposals should address clinically relevant questions through large-scale data analyses, rigorous feasibility or pilot studies, or well-designed practical proof-of-concept projects, with a clear trajectory toward improving patient care and nutritional practice.

Discovery-driven studies aimed at identifying novel mechanisms fall within the scope of the ESPEN Research Fellowships.
