PAST WINNERS: Read about past recipients in archived coverage from 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
CRN is dedicated to supporting the nutrition research community. Americans continue to demonstrate a growing interest in dietary supplements and a proactive stance toward their own self-care. With three-quarters of Americans taking dietary supplements, CRN recognizes how critically important it is to have continued research on these products and their ingredients and will continue be an advocate on behalf of nutrition science education.
BACKGROUND: CRN and ASNF Announce New Joint Initiative to Advance Nutrition Education
The association has provided educational awards for students studying at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University to attend its annual science workshop since 2016. Recipients, selected by the American Society of Nutrition (ASN) based on their academic record and commitment to research, receive funding for travel expenses and a waived registration fee for the scientific symposium, which features experts in nutrition and dietary supplement research. In 2021, CRN partnered with ASNF to establish CAPS.
CRN and ASNF’s Program for Scholars (CAPS)
CRN supports the nutrition research community and enhances awareness of the role dietary supplements play in nutrition through a partnership with ASNF that provides complimentary registrations for the association’s Science in Session event. (Previously named CASP, the program acronym shifted to CAPS to avoid duplication with another ASNF initiative.) Learn about past awardees here: 2019, 2021, 2022.
The program selects winners based on their academic record and commitment to research.
Stakeholders can commit a contribution via this form to help send select ASN student members to a future Science in Session event.
