The North American branch of the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI North America) is a public, non-profit scientific foundation that advances the understanding and application of science related to the nutritional quality and safety of the food supply. The organization carries out its mission by sponsoring research programs, professional and educational programs and workshops, seminars, and publications, as well as providing a neutral forum for government, academic, and industry scientists to discuss and resolve scientific issues of common concern for the well-being of the general public. ILSI North America's programs are supported primarily by its industry membership. 


VALUE OF MEMBERSHIP 

Membership with ILSI North America offers access to the latest research knowledge and top research venues through the large network of academia, industry, and government experts in diverse areas of food science, nutrition, safety, and risk assessment.  ILSI North America members can bring forth new topic areas of investigation or make use of the existing infrastructure and network to address an unexpected scientific issue.  However, within the operational structure of ILSI North America, members are not required to support a topic committee in which they have no direct interest.  Members may choose to tailor their committee support to their specific needs.
