\"trophy Discovery Grant<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Do you have an egg nutrition research idea that is unrelated to the annual call for research proposals? We would love to hear from you! While funds outside of the annual call for research proposals are limited, we are always looking for innovative projects that may address current research gaps. Please send a LOI (PDF link provided above) to research@eggnutritioncenter.org. Please specify \u201cDiscovery Grant\u201d for the section \u201cResearch Priorities to be Addressed.\u201d We will confirm receipt of the LOI, but a timeline for review\/potential for funding will fluctuate, depending on available funds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\"integrity Integrity Guidelines<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Egg Nutrition Center (ENC) believes in the importance of understanding how eggs fit into healthy diets and the capacity of nutrition research to expand our knowledge base. Funded by egg farmers and guided by nutrition scientists and registered dietitians, ENC supports research on the role of eggs as part of a healthy diet. In order to maintain integrity and transparency, and to help minimize the potential for bias due to funding source, ENC abides by integrity guidelines informed by accepted scientific practice and guiding principles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In accordance with these guiding principles, the Egg Nutrition Center grants academic independence in the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and ability to report and publish all findings of any sponsored research. Investigators are also contractually bound to transparently report the Egg Nutrition Center, other financial sponsors, and\/or any inherent or perceived conflicts of interests in all publications, presentations or communications (e.g., media interviews).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
