In addition to becoming engaged in the public health nutrition advocacy work and other activities, fellows receive an award of up to $450 to pay expenses related to Annual Meeting attendance. View eligibility criteria and additional information from 2019. Application deadline is in July/August of each year.

Section awards recognize outstanding achievements, celebrate innovation and commend excellent work in public health nutrition. We honor recipients during a reception at the APHA Annual Meeting each year. View our Awards page for criteria for each award and nomination guidelines. Application deadline is in July of each year.
