Description
The Undergraduate Diversity Research Fellowship, offered by the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) Foundation, is designed to promote diversity and inclusion within the nutrition sciences. The fellowship provides direct funding for undergraduate research projects led by students from historically underrepresented backgrounds, enabling them to contribute to the field and participate in the ASN’s annual NUTRITION meeting. In addition to research support, the program covers travel, registration, and membership costs, and offers opportunities for networking, professional development, and recognition through a poster competition.
