3rd National Workshop on Human Nutrition Research

Due to global guidance in response to the threat of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we are postponing the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Nutrition’s 3rd National Workshop in Nutrition Designs and Methods in Kathmandu to a later, as-yet-unspecified date.

The annual National Workshop on Human Nutrition Research is an initiative under the Feed the Future Innovation lab for Nutrition and Tufts University, to enhance its ongoing support to the overall institutional and human research capacity around agriculture, health and nutrition in Nepal. In collaboration with the Government of Nepal, Ministry of Health and Population, Department of Health Services, National Health Training Center, Tribhuvan University Institute of Medicine, Patan Academy of Health Sciences, College of Applied Food and Dairy Technology, Purdue University, St. Johns Institute, Tuskegee University and Johns Hopkins University, the Nutrition Innovation Lab will be conducting its 3rd National Workshop on Nutrition Research Designs and Methods in Kathmandu, Nepal. The one-week workshop will be held in Kathmandu.
