Fostering excellence in nutrition science.
CRN identified and promoted best practices in the design, execution, interpretation and acceptance of research that evaluates the benefits and safety of nutritional products and their ingredients.
CRN again presented the Mary Swartz Rose awards and co-sponsored expert discussions at the annual American Society of Nutrition (ASN) meeting. The CRN-supported Mary Swartz Rose awards recognize researchers for outstanding research on the safety and efficacy of bioactive compounds for human health and represent CRN’s commitment to advance the science behind dietary supplements.
Investing in the future of science-based nutrition policymaking, CRN awarded a small group of select graduate students from Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy with an educational grant to attend CRN’s Day of Science.
In addition, CRN experts contributed to the body of published scientific literature co-authoring articles including “Development of a Consensus Approach for Botanical Safety Evaluation—A Roundtable Report,” published in Toxicology Letters and “Nutrition interventions for healthy ageing across the lifespan: a conference report,” in the European Journal of Nutrition.
Investing in the future of science-based nutrition policymaking, each year CRN awards a small group of select graduate students from Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy with an educational grant to attend CRN's Day of Science. Hear what this year's student attendees, Kate Harrington, Carley Bowering, and Emily Kjell, had to say about this year's event.
