Diversity in Nutrition and Health Sciences

ASN Foundation’s funding initiative to support underrepresented groups in our field

Thank you to our Founding Donors!

You can still be a part of this important effort. Every contribution counts.

To advance the science, education, and practice of nutrition it will take the entire nutrition community.

On behalf of the ASN Foundation, I invite you to join me and our colleagues throughout the nutrition and public health community in this effort to grow and seize opportunities.

– Catherine E. Woteki, PhD
Chair, ASN Foundation Board of Trustees

Diversity is the fundamental strength of our professional society.

Varied voices and backgrounds are integral to the future of ASN and the field of nutrition.

According to the National Science Foundation, women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minority groups, which include African Americans (or Blacks), American Indians and Alaska Natives, Hispanics (or Latinos), Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders are underrepresented at many career stages in health-related sciences on a national basis.1
