Investing in the Future
ILSI North America honors and encourages leadership in the nutrition and food safety fields via our award programs.
The Babcock-Hart Award is given to an individual who has made distinguished contributions to food technology resulting in improved public health through some aspect of nutrition or the development of more nutritious foods. The winner is presented the award (and associated check) at the Institute of Food Technologists annual meeting (www.ift.org). For more information, please contact Char Myers at cmyers@ilsi.org.
The Mary Swartz Rose Memorial Graduate Award is given to a promising graduate student working toward a doctorate in dietetics.
