This course is included in the NUTRITION 2025 On Demand Collection.

In today’s fast-evolving and unpredictable landscape, nutrition scientists across academia, industry, and government face rapid changes - from shifting research priorities, to evolving funding landscapes and organizational restructuring. Changes in federal research funding, policy directions, and public health initiatives are not new - but recent shifts at the federal level create new challenges and unchartered territory across many areas of nutrition science. Given these changes, cross-sector collaborations are more important than ever and represent a powerful tool to move the field forward. This workshop will explore strategies for navigating transitions while strengthening collaborations across sectors. Attendees will gain insights into adapting to disruptions and fostering effective partnerships. Through an expert panel and interactive discussions, participants will leave with practical insights to thrive in dynamic workplaces and gain perspectives on the value of cross-sector collaborations in driving the future of nutrition science.
