Nutrition health disparities workshop calls for submissions.

On Sept. 21-23, NIH will host a virtual nutrition health disparities workshop to review the state of the science on food insecurity and the neighborhood food environment. Participants will identify research gaps and explore innovative research strategies that could inform policies and practices. 

As part of the event, NIH is encouraging early-stage investigators, as well as doctoral and postdoctoral students working in food insecurity, nutrition health disparities or implementation science to submit an abstract for the poster sessions. 

Selected researchers will have an opportunity to present their research at the event and receive an award. Submit your poster abstract by July 9 to qualify. Learn more and register by Sept. 7. https://bit.ly/3dY3D6H
