What is a “bionutritionist”?• This term was coined in years past by NIH officials

who wanted to have a uniform, unique job title amongst dietitians and nutrition researchers

• For the purpose of NAB membership, a bionutritionist is “a nutrition specialist trained in research who is employed by a National Center for Research Resources (NCRR)-funded research center, such as a General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) and Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) centers, or by the NIH Clinical Center”.

• This definition is in our by-laws and helps us to identify who is eligible for NAB membership.
