This session features the best peer-reviewed research abstracts submitted for inclusion in the ASPEN26 conference. This is your opportunity to hear firsthand about the latest research that helps shape clinical practice in nutrition support.

All individuals presenting during this session are vying for the prestigious Harry M. Vars Award. This award serves as a tribute to Dr. Vars and his pioneering developments in parenteral nutrition and is given annually for the best original research presentation by an early-career investigator at the ASPEN conference. The award recipient will be determined during the conference by votes submitted by ASPEN26 conference participants and by the ASPEN Research Committee’s thorough review of manuscripts submitted by qualified candidates as well as the candidates’ presentations during the conference. The award recipient will be announced at the Rhoads Research Lecture and Award Ceremony on Sunday morning. Come cheer on the candidates and hear the best of the best research at ASPEN26!
