Position Papers
A position paper is germane to the vision, mission, values, goals, and strategies of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. A position paper consists of an abstract, a position statement, and a support paper. The position statement is a statement of the Academy's stance on an issue, which is derived from pertinent facts, data, and the research literature. The position paper is not a comprehensive literature review of the topic, but it presents current facts, data, and research.
