American Society for Nutrition

American Society For Nutrition

The ASN Board of Directors approved the creation of the ASN Research Foundation in fall 2009.

The ASN Foundation is designed to supplement the activities of the Society itself by deepening the ways in which ASN supports the field of nutrition science, and by strengthening our global efforts to promote nutrition and public health. The Foundation will manage a broad portfolio that complements and enhances ASN priorities and activities.

ASN Foundation: Serving the Field
The foundation will expand resources available to emerging investigators, young professionals, international nutritionists as well as established scientists and clinicians. Programs in development include:
-Research Grants, Bridge Grants and Start-Up Grants
-International Professorships and Visiting Faculty Fellows
-Scholarships, Travel Grants and Minority Programs

ASN Foundation: Elevating Global Nutrition Issues and Improving Public Health
The foundation will broaden the Society's mission and scope beyond nutrition science, so that ASN can function as the authoritative global leader in health and wellness. Programs in development include a Global Forum on Health and Wellness.

The current President of the ASN Foundation is James O. Hill, PhD. If you have suggestions for foundation programs, or if you would like to get involved, please let us know.
