Abstract
Research is essential to further advance our understanding of the role of nutrition and dietetics in maintenance and improvement of health. Research is also essential for nutrition and dietetics practitioners to create and provide evidence-based interventions, including medical nutrition therapy provided by registered dietitian nutritionists. Given this critical role of research, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) has a variety of resources to assist its members in accessing, understanding, participating in, conducting, and disseminating nutrition research. These resources are comprehensive and include opportunities to participate in research (eg, Nutrition Research Network and Data Science Center), tools to aggregate practice data (Nutrition Care Process and Terminology and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Informatics Infrastructure), funding opportunities to support primary research (eg, Academy Foundation), resources to understand the latest research informing evidence-based practice (eg, Evidence Analysis Center), and avenues for sharing research findings (eg, Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo™). The aim of this article is to encourage Academy members to get involved in research by describing Academy-based research resources and opportunities to contribute to nutrition and dietetics research, as well as describe specific examples of research conducted at the Academy. The information presented can serve as a framework to guide members in engaging in research through the Academy.
