Carrie P Earthman, PhD RD
University of Minnesota,
Department of Food Science and Nutrition
DNS can help you get your research started or headed in a new direction! The grant is available to any DNS member - students (undergraduate or graduate), clinicians, or previously unfunded investigators.
My personal research interests:
* Clinical assessment of body composition (particularly body cell mass and fluid distribution) and energy expenditure
* Nutritional management after gastric bypass surgery
* Management of vitamin D deficiency in difficult to treat populations
I have been a DNS member since 1990, and a reviewer for Support Line since 1999. I am pleased and honored to be part of the Dietitians in Nutrition Support, and I look forward to serving you in any way I can as the new DNS Research Committee Chair!

The ADA Research committee is looking for an ADA member with expertise in research to assist in ongoing development of an online ADA Research Toolkit, the purpose of which is to expand RD skills to use and evaluate research more effectively in order to initiate outcomes research. Because the toolkit is an independent learning activity, ability to teach a topic for this format is essential.
