                                Between 1998 and 2005, the National Institutes of Health funded a program called the Nutrition Academic Award to integrate nutrition education into medical school curricula. Today, the phrase "Nutrition Academic Award" refers not to a single prize but to a diverse array of academic honors and recognitions celebrating excellence in the field of nutrition and dietetics.
