Complimentary NUTRITION 2025 Digital Pass for Early Career Investigators Impacted by Recent Federal Government Actions

At the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and the ASN Foundation, we believe that knowledge should be accessible to all. By investing in these emerging leaders, we not only support their professional growth — we also help to shape the future of nutrition. 

Complimentary NUTRITION 2025 Digital Passes are available for Early Career Investigators impacted by recent federal government actions, with a date of separation after 1/1/2025. Applications are subject to approval and grants are limited to available funding.

Family Support Grants

ASN is committed to being family friendly and providing an open and inclusive learning environment. We understand how family care responsibilities can make it difficult to fully participate in meetings. Therefore, we are proud to offer grants to help facilitate your participation.  

This year, Family Support Grants will be offered to scientists attending or presenting at NUTRITION 2025 to offset caregiving expenses for dependent children or family members.   

A NUTRITION 2025 Family Support Grant is a reimbursable allowance up to a maximum of $100 which can be applied towards expenses incurred by an attendee for the caregiving of dependent children or family members by another individual. Please note that if a grant is given, documentation of the caregiving expenses must be provided to ASN.  

ASN’s Family Support Grant program was recognized with a 2022 Power of Associations Silver Award from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), an honor that recognizes associations for innovative activities that further professional advancement. An article on ASN’s Family Support Grant program was published in Current Developments in Nutrition. Data will continue to be collected to evaluate the program.  

Please see below for full details about the eligibility criteria and application process.
