Articles published in respected professional publications ensure that CFDR-funded research results are available to a wide audience and can be adapted into dietetic practice. For a report which highlights published results from 2008, click here.

 

CFDR-Funded Research

Annually, CFDR provides research grant awards to dietitians who wish to explore a question that relates directly to their practice and will be directly applicable to improving the nutritional health of Canadians. The following grants have been awarded in 2009:

1. Can food-related policies and land use planning practices be aligned in order to advance the nutritional health of the population?
2. How can workers in long term care homes be supported to provide person-centered mealtime care for long term care residents with dementia?
3. What are the changes in nutritional, inflammatory and fatty acid status in gastrointestinal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy?
4. What are the effects on the thoughts and behaviours about food and eating among restrained women?
5. Can a web based tool improve learning in dietetic education?
6. Can a preterm growth chart developed and validated at Canadian sites be generalized to other countries?

For highlights about these and previous CFDR awards, view CFDR news releases.
