In 2007, Cheryl W. Thompson, PhD, RD, CNSD, is serving as the principal investigator on a National Institutes of Health grant project, the goal of which is to educate clinicians on safe and effective delivery of enteral nutrition. It is her belief that educating both clinicians and consumers about homePEN will help enhance consumers’ lives.

Cheryl has had valuable experience working in elected positions and on committees with several nonprofits, including Dietitians in Nutrition Support and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.). She has a doctorate in Health Promotion and Education, which has enabled her to promote cost-effective educational resources, such as Web-based instruction.
