The IAEA Nobel Cancer and Nutrition Fund was created to use the IAEAs
share of the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize 2005 for capacity building in two
priority areas in health, cancer and childhood nutrition. In nutrition, the
overall aim is to contribute to capacity building by disseminating
information about the usefulness of stable isotope techniques in the
development and monitoring of nutrition programmes to combat malnutrition,
in particular in infants and children

Fund-supported fellowship awards will target young professionals, especially
women, from developing countries, through the IAEAs Technical Cooperation
Programme. Alongside such awards, regional events - IAEA Nobel Peace Prize
Fund Schools for Nutrition - will be organized in Africa, Asia and the
Pacific and in Latin America during October/December 2006.
The IAEA Nobel Peace Prize Fund Schools for Nutrition will be open to
participants from IAEA Member States and is intended for policy makers and
professionals with relevant background in nutrition.
