British Nutrition Foundation Drummond Awards 2026

This year the British Nutrition Foundation is offering two awards, recognising excellence in the field of nutrition. The Awards are made possible through the Foundation’s management of the Drummond Memorial Fund, established in memory of the work and contribution of Sir Jack Drummond.

The BNF Prize

The Foundation is inviting nominations for the British Nutrition Foundation Prize. The Prize will be awarded to a UK-based leader in nutrition, who has made an outstanding contribution to the field over a number of years.

This will be judged by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, Advisory Committee and Scientific Committee.

If you would like to submit a nomination, please follow the instructions which can be found by clicking this link. Nominations must be received by 10 May 2026.

Early Career Scientist Award

This award recognises early career nutrition scientists, whether working in academia, policy or industry, who show great potential to be future leaders in the field. Applications are welcome from any country.

Applicants are required to complete an application form and submit an abstract that could be turned into a mini review describing an emerging, topical area of human nutrition science that would be suitable for submission to the British Nutrition Foundation’s peer-reviewed journal Nutrition Bulletin.
