Description
The ASN Foundation Undergraduate Diversity Research Fellowship promotes diversity in nutrition through long-term change. It provides direct support for undergraduate research projects that contribute to knowledge in nutrition and may affect the broader field. The fellowship is intended for students historically underrepresented in the biomedical sciences who are studying nutrition, dietetics, or food science in the United States.
Research support is paired with participation in a poster competition on the completed project at NUTRITION, the American Society for Nutrition’s annual flagship meeting. Travel funding enables fellows to present their work, participate in the meeting, network, and learn. The fellowship was developed with ASN’s Student Interest Group and is funded by donors to the ASN Foundation’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Campaign.
