We are committed to bringing
together the complementary and unique expertise within the community of this
project and
will create a virtual "Institute of Early Nutrition Programming". We will
ensure that those with direct responsibility for conducting training procedures
will follow common guide lines. It is anticipated that one of our focuses
for individual training programmes will be graduate students and contract
research staff. As a result there will be a new generation of researchers
with a unique blend of complementary skills drawn from each disciplines
encompassed within all of the themes.
Each research partner has
identified the areas of research where it has established competencies, and is
therefore expected to be attractive to many others in the Early Nutrition
Programming Project community.
Links in potential training activities will also be explored with the Network of
Excellence in Nutrigenomics (NUGO) where there is a large overlap with
membership of this project.
Typical examples of the types of
training we will provide are detailed below.
