In an important step forward in advancing science in support of public health, the American Society of Nutrition (ASN) and the Obesity Society (TOS) are proud to announce a new strategic alliance that unites two leading scientific organizations under a shared vision of promoting health through the best nutrition and obesity research and practice.
This collaboration reflects the growing recognition that nutrition and obesity science are interconnected fields essential to improving global health. Together, ASN and TOS will work to accelerate the translation of cutting-edge research into effective practice, education, and policy.
Effective immediately, the partnership will enable members of the Obesity Society (TOS) to register for ASN’s annual meeting, NUTRITION 2026, at ASN membership rates, and ASN members will receive TOS membership rates for ObesityWeek® 2026.
This initiative will deliver substantial value and cost savings to members of both organizations interested in participating in the annual conference, while expanding access to cutting-edge science, fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations, and strengthening our collective impact on public health. ”
Sharlyn Cerrone Arnold, Mississippi, TOS CEO
“This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to bridge our scientific communities,” said Naima Musteed Moosa, Ph.D., DFASN, FTOS, FAHA, FNAI, President of the American Academy of Nutrition. “By combining our strengths, we can better support our members and advance the science that shapes public health.”
This partnership represents a commitment to aligning expertise in nutrition and obesity science to advance evidence-based solutions that not only advance research, but also shape practice, inform policy, and ultimately improve health outcomes around the world. ”
Dr. John E. Courtney, ASN CEO
“This marks the early stages of what we hope will be a strong collaboration,” said Jacqueline M. Stevens, Ph.D., FTOS, president of the Obesity Society. “We look forward to working closely with ASN to expand opportunities for our members, including shared educational programs, advocacy efforts, and scientific events.”
Future collaborative activities may include joint educational offerings, advocacy efforts, and shared opportunities for scientific exchange to accelerate advances in both nutrition and obesity research.
