Turning challenges into opportunities for support
With the launch of our 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, we will continue to build on the ASN Foundation’s strong history of ongoing and new initiatives to sustain future generations including:
- Providing much needed annual Awards and Scholarships to the diverse spectrum of ASN members from students to lifelong investigators;
- Expanding ongoing programs to support the growth of underrepresented groups and ensure appropriate inclusion across ASN;
- Recognizing lifelong accomplishments and contributions of nutrition’s luminaires from around the globe;
- Expanding nutrition science’s evidence base to help bridge gaps in knowledge and its translation;
- Implementation of the recommendations and outcomes from ASN’s “Ensuring Trust in Nutrition Science,” an initiative to enhance the quality and credibility of nutrition research in both the scientific community and the public sector.
