Health & Nutrition Policy Updates
ASN to Recommend Potential Grant Reviewers to
NIH
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Scientific Review has launched an
online portal
through which scientific societies, including ASN, may recommend scientists to serve as NIH reviewers. This new online tool makes it much more likely for scientific review officers to locate and invite qualified scientists. Productive scientists from diverse backgrounds and career stages – e.g. assistant, associate, and full professors - are eligible for consideration.
If you would like ASN to consider recommending you as a potential reviewer, please make sure that you meet the NIH’s reviewer qualifications listed below. Early career scientists without substantial NIH funding should consider applying directly to the NIH
Early Career Reviewer Program
for review experience.
Individuals to be considered as potential reviewers
must be
scientists who:
- are willing to serve as a reviewer if called upon;
- are seen as experts with integrity in their field;
- have an active research program;
- have current extramural funding; and,
- are not currently a standing member of an NIH study section or advisory council.
If you meet the above qualifications and are interested in being considered as a potential NIH grant reviewer, please send
Sarah Ohlhorst
the following information:
- Name and Degree
- NIH Commons ID
- Email address
- Key terms that reflect your broad expertise (e.g. cardiovascular disease; etc.)
- Key terms that reflect your research focus (e.g. cardiac contractility; etc.)
- Key terms reflecting your methodological expertise (e.g. population-level statistical methods; etc)
Optional information to include:
- Up to 3 relevant NIH study sections where you could serve
- Your current CV to upload
- Additional information regarding your suitability as a reviewer
ASN Calls for Nutrition Research Task Force Members
ASN plans to convene a Task Force to author a report that provides an overview of the current types, purposes, strengths, and limitations of the primary methodologies used in nutrition research.
The primary goal will be to characterize the role each research approach serves and how, collectively, they provide a sound evidence base for drawing conclusions and formulating policy,
clinical practice guidelines, dietary recommendations, nutrition programs and interventions
. The audience will include nutrition researchers, educators and practitioners, policy makers, industry and the media. Secondarily, it is hoped such information will moderate the tone of scientific discourse and improve interpretation and appropriate use of emerging science. ASN is interested in members with expertise in many areas of nutrition research including, but not limited to:
basic, clinical/human, global, food and nutrition policy, animal models, mechanisms, methodology, translation, community/public health, behavior, education, as well as innovative techniques such as big data, food pattern modeling, and systems approaches.
If interested in being considered to serve on the Task Force and writing group, please send an up-to-date CV along with your area(s) of expertise to
Sarah Ohlhorst
by Friday, May 29, 2020.
Suggestions of ASN member experts who should be considered as part of this writing group are also welcome.

Advances in Nutrition
(AN)
May 2020, 11(5)
Featured Articles:
- “Improved legumes” offer higher nutrient bioavailability. Reviewing nine relevant studies, Linet N. Mutwiri et al. concluded that these legumes could be “a sustainable solution to improve iron status” in low- and middle-income countries. The authors, however, note that further research is needed “to show if the reported improvements in status markers translate to improved health outcomes.”
- Ahmad Jayedi et al. conducted a comprehensive review of 34 published meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies on the association of fish consumption and the risk of chronic disease. They concluded, “evidence of moderate quality suggests that fish consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, depression, and mortality and, therefore, can be considered as a healthy animal-based dietary source of protein.

Current Developments in Nutrition
(CDN)
May 2020, 5(5)
Featured Article:
Type 2 diabetes is a worldwide epidemic and a leading cause of death in Mexico. In response,
Robin Whittemore et al.
developed a diabetes self-management education program,
Sí, Yo Puedo Vivir Sano con Diabetes!
, tailored to the dietary preferences, health literacy, and health system of Mexico. The program, implemented in five
Seguro Popular
clinics in Mexico City, offered seven weekly sessions and six months of daily text and picture messages. 57% of the participants lived in food-insecure households. At the end of the six-month program, the authors found that “the program was associated with clinically significant improvements in type 2 diabetes self-management, self-efficacy, and glycated hemoglobin over time.” In particular, the authors pointed to high attendance and low attrition among a vulnerable metropolitan population.
