  • August 19, 2019

Image result for naspghanThe North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) is inviting applications for its NASPGHAN Foundation/Abbott Nutrition Advanced Fellowship Training in Pediatric Nutrition.

Pediatric nutrition is one of the fastest-growing areas of scientific and clinical importance to child and population health. In an effort to address this growing interest and to accelerate the training of pediatric experts, the NASPGHAN Foundation has partnered with Abbott Nutrition to develop a pathway for advanced fellowship training in pediatric nutrition.

To that end, a single award of $75,000 will be granted in support of one year of advanced training in pediatric nutrition. The fellowship may be conducted in a variety of settings, including a hospital-based program, university nutrition program, government program, or not-for-profit entity. Examples of areas for emphasis include but are not limited to fetal growth and neonatal nutrition; typical development of feeding skills/behaviors and feeding disorders; nutritional aspects of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia; malnutrition and failure to thrive; nutrition education; nutrition in specific systemic diseases or clinical states such as cystic fibrosis, liver disease, intestinal failure, and organ transplantation; nutrition support; community nutrition; nutrition epidemiology; energy homeostasis; nutrition and the microbiome; micronutrient homeostasis; nutrigenomics; obesity; breast milk and breast feeding; and basic laboratory nutritional science.

Although not required, strong preference will be given to applicants seeking training at a location distinct from the institution in which their fellowship training occurred.

To be eligible applicants must hold an MD or DO, be within ten years of their GI fellowship training, and a member in good standing of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. Applicants are expected to identify a mentor and a host nutrition research program prior to application for funding.

See the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.
