Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research CFDR Research Showcase: Early Bird Abstracts

Abstract

Review Committee. It was exciting to have research from different nutrition and dietetic practice areas represented. Thanks for all of the abstract submissions! Eight Early Bird abstracts were presented as Lightning Rounds during the virtual DC National Conference and were very well-received. The remaining 16 abstracts were displayed as posters for the duration of the conference with a live 7-min presentation opportunity from the poster gallery on May 19, 2021. All of the Early Bird abstracts are published in this issue of the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research and are also featured on the CFDR website. These abstracts represent a wide variety of practice-based nutrition research projects in Canada. The Early Bird abstract research event would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of many supportive individuals. On behalf of DC and CFDR, we extend a special thank you to members of our abstract review committee: Susan Campisi (University of Toronto);Pauline Darling (University of Ottawa);Andrea Glenn (St. Francis Xavier University);Mahsa Jessri (University of British Columbia);Grace Lee (University Health Network), Jessica Lieffers (University of Saskatchewan);Shelley Vanderhout (University of Toronto). A sincere thank you to all of the moderators, the DC Conference team and Izabella Bachmanek for their support with the Lightning Round presentations over the course of the DC virtual conference. Please consider submitting an abstract next year for the CFDR Research Showcase at the 2022 DC National Conference in Saskatoon, SK. Wishing all of you a wonderful Fall! Warm regards
