The Dietetics Practice Based Research Network, or DPBRN, conducts, supports, promotes and advocates for practice-based research that answers questions important to dietetics practice. DPBRN members are RDNs who share a common interest in improving patient care through practice-based research or designing research projects that draw from the knowledge and understanding of practicing clinicians. Network members work in variety of practice settings and specialties and include practitioners, researchers and students.
There are many ways to get involved with DPBRN, including collecting data for a research project, suggesting research questions and participating in mentoring. Membership in DPBRN is open and free to all Academy members. To join, members can email dpbrn@eatright.org with "join" and their member number in the subject line.
This webinar introduces DPBRN, how it functions and describes several network projects.
The DPBRN works to answer the questions important to dietetics practice and to promoting nutritional health of all people. It promotes the importance and value of practice-based research. The infrastructure of the network provides ongoing support for practice-based research projects as well as dissemination of that research.
DPBRN membership is open and free to all Academy members. While DPBRN membership allows members to submit projects to the DPBRN, members are not obligated to propose or participate in projects.
