MNI grants
MNI grants €40,000 towards a local initiative or project with the aim of enhancing the nutritional management of patient care. The objective is to support and/or inspire high quality initiatives. Over the years, the MNI Grant has supported or stimulated ambitious initiatives – endorsed by PEN (or sister) societies worldwide – which have contributed to improving nutritional care policies at local level.
