Research Showcase Abstracts.

The 2022 Dietitians of Canada (DC) National Conference brought together our nutrition and dietetics community for a successful virtual event on September 15 & 16, 2022. We have had three virtual conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that has not prevented us from sharing our experiences and research. This year the Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research (CFDR) showcased a wide variety of experience sharing and research abstracts through the online conference platform. There were 33 Early Bird (EB) research abstracts, in which five were selected for live presentations during the conference, and ten Late Breaking research abstracts. Thirty-one posters were presented virtually at the conference. Thank you for all of the abstract submissions! A sincere thank you to the Abstract Review Committee members for their support, dedication and commitment. Early Bird Abstract Review Committee: Susan Campisi (University of Toronto); Pauline Darling (University of Ottawa); Andrea Glenn (University of Toronto); Mahsa Jessri (University of British Columbia); Shelley Vanderhout (University of Toronto). Late Breaking Abstract Review Committee: Lesley Andrade (University of Waterloo); Carla D'Andreamatteo (Consultant, Winnipeg); Pauline Darling (University of Ottawa); Laura Forbes (University of Guelph); Billie Jane Hermosura (University of Ottawa); Christine Nash (University Health Network). Thanks to the DC Conference team, all of the moderators and conference attendees for supporting the virtual and poster research presentations. Please consider submitting an abstract for the 2023 CFDR Research Showcase. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the 2023 Dietitians of Canada Conference in Montreal, QC, from May 24-26, 2023. Warm regards, Christina Lengyel, PhD, RD Chair, 2022 EB/LB Abstract Committees Professor Food and Human Nutritional Sciences University of Manitoba Ravi Sidhu Managing Director Development & Operations CFDR.
