Investing in the profession by making research resources available for Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and its members is a priority for the Foundation. Funding research will elevate the registered dietitian’s profile to the public by continuing to position the Academy and its members as the nutrition experts. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation understands the value of research conducted by registered dietitians and the importance of donors who help to move the profession forward with this research.
Annual Research Fund
The Foundation is expanding research efforts to make dollars available on an annual basis to fund research being conducted by the Academy and its members. These dollars will allow the Foundation to quickly respond to the ever changing research needs of the profession. Since all dollars to this annual research fund will be made available for immediate disbursement, the Foundation believes this will allow for an even greater impact by providing consumers with the most relevant and accurate food and nutrition information and bringing more registered dietitians to the forefront.
