bda.uk.comAbout British Dietetic Association General and Education Trust Fund
The British Dietetic Association General and Education Trust Fund advances education and charitable purposes in the science and practice of dietetics across the UK. Its mission is to foster innovation, excellence, and evidence-based practice by supporting research development, evaluation, and dissemination that improve clinical outcomes and professional skills. The Trust values scientific rigour, clinical relevance, and professional advancement, with a distinctive focus on early-career dietitians and new researchers. It stands out for its rigorous, impact-driven support of dietetic-specific needs, ensuring findings translate into practitioner benefits and future research capacity.
What British Dietetic Association General and Education Trust Fund funds
The Trust funds dietetic research in clinical, educational, and service innovation areas, including dietary assessment tools, systematic reviews on workplace nutrition, and clinical placement impacts. It also supports special population services and educational resources. Additional education awards and conference grants support evidence-sharing and leadership development, with a priority on projects that have practical, policy, and public health impacts. Funding covers project and running costs, plus research staff salaries, and is available UK-wide.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-based individuals, particularly BDA members, as well as research teams, academic institutions, associations, and clinical groups. There is a preference for smaller entities, and unsolicited applications are welcomed. The Trust prioritises early-career dietitians and new researchers, as well as profession-led initiatives that fill gaps unmet by major funders.
What British Dietetic Association General and Education Trust Fund doesn't fund
The Trust excludes a range of costs that fall outside its research and education focus. These include academic fees, student support, and computing equipment. It also does not fund non-research conferences, core organisational costs, or capital projects such as buildings or major equipment. The emphasis is on supporting dietetic-specific research and professional development, so general operational expenses or activities unrelated to the Trust's charitable purposes are not considered.
How they like to fund
The Trust provides grants for research projects, covering project and running costs as well as research staff salaries. It also offers education awards and conference grants to support evidence-sharing and leadership development. Unsolicited applications are welcomed, and the Trust favours smaller entities.
