New collaboration cultivates next generation of research talent

The International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (ISRHML) and FLRF join forces to cultivate the next generation of research talent with the Trainee Expansion Program (TEP).

Despite breastmilk’s significance for improving infant survival and the long-term health of mothers and children, research on breastfeeding and breastmilk is often overlooked and underfunded.

ISRHML and FLRF hope to help change that with TEP. The international career development campaign offers two types of scholarship opportunities to talented researchers interested in entering or furthering their work in the field of breastmilk and breastfeeding:

• Short-term Trainee Travel Funds – up to USD 10,000 for activities of up to three months
• Longer-term Trainee Bridge Funds – up to USD 100,000 for projects of up to one year
