# International Society for Neurogastronomy Symposium

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY · 2020 · $40,000

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The objective of this conference grant request is to provide support for certain aspects of
the annual meeting of the International Society of Neurogastronomy (ISN) for the next five
years. ISN is a relatively new society whose composition of scientists, clinicians,
nutritionists, agricultural experts, food service professionals, and chefs naturally
predisposes it to focus on translational issues fundamental to how the chemical senses
impact human health. The first two specific objectives are to provide a venue and
opportunity that brings these groups together and facilitates the synergies that arise when
distinctly different fields interact productively. The third specific objective is to attract and
stimulate the young scientists that are the future of the field of neurogastronomy. The
fourth specific objective is to do outreach that serves health and culinary professionals by
informing them about the impact that smell and taste has upon diet, nutrition, and the
growing health problems of obesity-related diseases. The fifth specific objective is to
ensure that this new field embraces a culture of diversity, weaving this principle into its
early development by recruiting persons of diverse backgrounds to the conference.
