Description
Starting in May 2022, we would like to commission a lead contractor, with expertise in nutrition or a similar/related discipline, and a team (within a related or research/consultancy field) for delivery by August 2022, to carry out research that will underpin the discovery phase of the School Food Standards project. The lead researcher would be expected to recruit and manage the team ready for the start of the discovery phase in mid-May. Between August and September, the team will provide a supporting role in designing the pilot.
The lead contractor and team could be from a Higher Education institution, research organisation or consultancy, with the expectation that the team have the appropriate skills and expertise to conduct the discovery phase.
