Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Nutrients, I am pleased to announce the winner of the Nutrients Travel Award in Sports Nutrition for 2021.

The award has been granted to Dr. Ben Kirk, a post-doctoral research fellow from the Australian Institute for Musculoskeletal Science, Department of Medicine, University of Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Kirk’s research focuses on identifying the risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatments for sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and function) and osteosarcopenia (loss of bone density and muscle mass and function) to avert falls and fractures in older adults and geriatric patients.

With so many high-quality applicants, the evaluation process and final decision were challenging. We would like to thank all the applicants for submitting their diverse and fascinating range of research topics. On behalf of the Assessment Committee, I congratulate the winner on his accomplishments.
