Today's Delegate Podcast focuses on the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetic's philanthropic arm, the Academy Foundation and Diabetes DPG’s support over years of the Foundation. The Foundation is the only charitable organization dedicated exclusively to promoting food and nutrition professionals. Hope Warshaw, MMSc, RD, CDE, BC-ADM, a Foundation board member, shares what all Academy members should know about the Foundation and how they should consider supporting the Foundation annually. Then we interview Kerri Lynn Knippen, PhD, MPH, RDN/LD, BC-ADM, the 2020 recipient of the DDPG funded Foundation grant to support research in diabetes MNT. She describes her research project in gestational diabetes and perinatal outcomes. Diabetes DPG members interested in taking part in Kerri's research project can email her at kknippe@bgsu.edu.
