The conception of the American Institute of Nutrition in 1926 culminated in the publication of the first issue of the Journal of Nutrition in September 1928. It was nearly 5 years later--April 1933--before the organizational meeting of the AIN as the future scientific society was convened. At this meeting, 172 persons were declared to be charter members, among whom were the original founders--10 men and 1 woman. These 11 pointers of AIN were rather unique. They had diverse backgrounds, different professional aspirations, and a dissimilarity of scientific objectives. Notwithstanding, they "were motivated by a desire to build a competent science of nutrition out of the rather chaotic mass of fragments of knowledge then in existence."
1926年美国营养学会的构想在1928年9月《营养学杂志》第一期出版时达到了顶峰。将近5年后，即1933年4月，作为未来科学学会的美国营养学会组织会议才召开。在这次会议上，172人被宣布为创始成员，其中包括最初的创始人——10名男性和1名女性。美国营养学会的这11位创始人相当独特。他们背景各异，职业抱负不同，科学目标也不一样。尽管如此，他们“出于一种愿望，想从当时存在的相当混乱的大量知识碎片中构建一门有能力的营养科学”。
