Unlock Your Research Potential

We Can Help!

The Research Dietetic Practice Group (DPG) is an enthusiastic group of nutrition and dietetic professionals dedicated to improving understanding about the impact of food and nutrition on health and disease. The field of nutrition is multi-faceted—thus, DPG members have disparate research interests. However, the drive for evidence bonds us. Learn more about the members of the Research DPG.

Diversity Resources

The Research DPG has started a page of resources related to diversity, equity, and inclusivity in nutrition and dietetics training, research, and practice. Access the resources here.
