Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research
Add to list
The Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research (CFDR) was created by Dietitians of Canada (DC), the professional association for dietitians, and incorporated in 1991 as a charitable foundation. CFDR fills a very specific and very necessary niche in the healthcare research arena. By providing grants to support research by dietitians in the context of their practice, CFDR is in a unique position to help improve the nutritional health of all Canadians. The evidence resulting from this research allows health professionals to provide science-based guidance and intervention in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease and pursuit of optimal health. This evidence also helps those in the food industry to learn more about consumer choices and dietary trends.
