Research Spotlight

Military dietitians are engaged in a variety of research projects at any given time. Some dietitians are assigned to work on research exclusively, such as the dietitians of United States Army Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) of Natick, Massachusetts. Other dietitians are finding fresh opportunities for research in deployed environments. The Master's Program in Nutrition includes research as a fundamental goal for each student. Student abstracts from the Class of 2009 are included here.
