Nutrition Research Project

Research and development are at the heart of everything done in the nutrition industry. Sound science is a must to back up product claims and inform business decisions.

This category rewards the best game-changing nutrition research projects that push the boundaries of nutritional science.

    Judges looked at how your research project has the potential for a positive impact on the nutrition industry, based on the following criteria:

    • How the research project is designed to address a genuine consumer demand, nutrition requirement, policy issue or healthcare risk
    • Whether the research has provided solid scientific evidence to demonstrate a unique nutritional solution to this need or problem – including peer-reviewed data to back up these findings
    • Evidence of good research methodology, analysis, and findings consistent with best practices
    • The potential for commercial applications or wide-sweeping changes in the industry on the back of research
    • What gives your research project the ‘X factor’ – something that makes it stand out from the crowd and edge out the competition (including evidence to back up claims)
