CFDR Early Bird Abstracts now OPEN for submission to the  2022 Research Showcase

The Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research (CFDR) is now accepting abstracts for the Early Bird Research Showcase at the 2022 Dietitians of Canada National Conference which has transitioned to a FREE, virtual experience for DC members September 15^th, 2022.  This Showcase provides an excellent opportunity for dietitians as well as students in the field of dietetics and nutrition to showcase their work and completed research.

Five CFDR research presentations will be included in the live, virtual Conference on September 15^th. In addition, there is an opportunity for an e-Poster displaying your work on the Conference platform. All accepted abstracts will also be posted on the CFDR website and published in the Fall 2022 edition of the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research.

We are seeking a diversity of skills, knowledge, backgrounds, and viewpoints. We strongly encourage applications from First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, racialized persons and those who identify as 2SLGBTQ+. Preferences will be given to project submissions that reflect a collaborative approach to research.

CFDR abstracts should be submitted via email at info@cfdr.ca. The deadline for submissions is 4:59 PM [ET] on April 30th, 2022 for DC or non-DC members in either English or French.

 Visit the CFDR website at https://www.cfdr.ca/Sharing/Conference.aspx for full submission criteria and information.
