The E. V. McCollum International Lectureship in Nutrition

Excellence in Nutrition Research and Practice

The E. V. McCollum International Lectureship in Nutrition provides a means to encourage sound advancements in nutritional science and their application for improving the health and well-being of people worldwide and to commemorate the life and contributions of E. V. McCollum. An outstanding nutritionist is invited to deliver two lectures on a topic consistent with the purpose of the lectureship in locations that will assure a large and broad audience. The lecturer serves a two-year term. Generally, one lecture is given in the first year at ASN's Scientific Sessions & Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology and one lecture is given in the second year at an international venue.

The recipient receives a one-time honorarium of $1,500 and travel reimbursement for one lecture (maximum reimbursement: $5,000). The lectureship is supported by the E. V. McCollum International Lectureship Endowment Fund.
