All submissions are welcome during this special Last Call!

ASN Member students and young investigators may also apply for abstract-based award competitions and travel funding opportunities.

Abstracts submitted by the January 18 deadline are now locked and under review. A separate round of review will be held for abstracts submitted during the Last Call. ASN extends our deepest gratitude to the hundreds of ASN members serving as abstract reviewers. Your efforts help elevate the quality of science presented at ASN meetings.

After the Last Call deadline, abstract submission will be closed and there will not be a late-breaking round for abstracts. If you have any questions about your abstract, the review process or the Last Call, please contact education@nutrition.org.

Family Support Grants

Application Deadline: 4/1/19

Nutrition 2019 aims to be a family friendly environment and ASN is offering small grants to help off-set caregiving expenses to enable scientists with dependent children or family members to present their research in Baltimore. The Nutrition 2019 Family Support Grant is a reimbursable allowance up to a maximum of $750 towards eligible funding scenarios. Provision of these grants is part of a study to assess and evaluate conference attendance feasibility; through this effort we will gather feedback about preferences and barriers to conference attendance.
