RenaLink Author Guidelines

Educational Stipend Award Recipient

Recipients of the National Kidney Foundation Council on Renal Nutrition (NKF-CRN) Educational Stipend award are expected to write a summary of a session they attended and submit an article that may be selected to appear in RenaLink or on the CRN website.

Stipend awardees may select any session attended but we ask that you consider choosing a session that was of special interest and you found especially pertinent to current clinical practice or addressed other significant issues such as scope of practice or evidence based review. The content of the article should serve to inform other dietitians who were unable to attend the Clinical Meetings.

The article should be prepared and submitted as follows:

   Presentation Title: Malnutrition, Inflammation and Serum Albumin
   Presenter: Sally Smith, MS, RD, CSR
   Author: Jane Jones, RD, CSR
   jjones@renalclinic.org
