In the past considerable funding has been allocated to research projects,
particularly in human and animal nutrition and crop husbandry, but due to the
escalating costs and to the fact that other organisations are often able to make
a more meaningful contribution to this area, research currently forms a smaller
part of the Funds' work.
To view details of research
projects supported to date select

The Rank Prize Funds Forums
The principle of a forum is to
assemble a group of some 20 established scientists wishing to explore a topic of
especial interest or timeliness over a period of some days. The topic should
fall in the fields of human nutrition, animal nutrition, crop husbandry, either
singly (eg obesity in 5-year olds) or in any combination (eg brassica culture
and mammalian health); these disciplines are interpreted widely.
The venue is likely to be at a
university or research institute, which will be expected to organise and
administer the event. All reasonable costs (including travel, meals,
accommodation) will be met by the Rank Prize Funds.
Expressions of potential
interest are invited from institutions or individual groups. Write or email,
including an outline of the topic (up to a page of A4) and the proposed venue,
to Mrs. Judith Delaney, The Rank Prize Funds, 45 St. Mary’s Road, Ditton Hill,
Surrey, KT6 5HB;
enquiries@rankprize.org. for more detailed information. There are no
application forms.
