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. Special thanks to the National Dairy Council and The Sugar Association, our supporters of the Family Support Grants. For more information, please visit: /awards/#family

Testimonials

“Nutrition 2018 offered scientists an opportunity to network and exchange new information conveniently. The planning and location of the conference was optimized to provide an environment to easily access talks, posters, sessions and workshops”.

Belinda Jenks

Director, Scientific Affairs and Nutrition Education, Pharmavite

“Nutrition 2018 proved to be an invaluable learning experience, especially for a graduate student like myself. Being immersed in an environment with fellow students and established scientists allowed for thorough discussion of new research areas and differing perspectives. I arrived in Boston excited for the conference events to follow, and I left with an even greater motivation to continue pursuing research in this growing field”.

Katelyn Senkus

Graduate Student, The University of Alabama
