Dr Kerith Duncanson is an Accredited Practising Dietitian, Lecturer and Course Coordinator at the University of Newcastle and Rural Research Program Manager for the Health Education and Training Institute (NSW Health). Kerith's interest in research stemmed from her candidature in the 2008 cohort of the NSW Rural Research Capacity Building Program, having found a gaping hole in her career CV in the 'research' domain, and a burning desire to find out what dictates how and what parents feed their children. Her experience in the RRCBP and subsequent completion of her PhD fuelled her interest in the research process, leading to her current role in researcher development for HETI.
