FAQ | Nutrition Education Challenge
The Challenge aims to identify and promote effective, evidence-based, and scalable nutrition education curricula to improve healthcare outcomes.
The Exemplar Track is for institutions with existing, implemented nutrition curricula that are already implemented and can demonstrate evidence of effectiveness, evaluation, and integration into medical or nursing education.
The Developing Track is for institutions that are creating, significantly expanding, piloting, or early in the implementation of nutrition curricula and are still building toward a more fully developed program.
Institutions with existing, operational programs should generally apply to the Exemplar Track, even if they continue to identify gaps or make improvements over time.
Each institution may submit only one entry, either independently or as part of a partnership.
