- Statement of position (in one or two sentences)
- Background and rationale for proposed position (~1.5 pages, single spaced)
- Objectives (eg, “to provide evidence for effectiveness of school cafeteria-based interventions on increasing fruit and vegetables intake among children and youth.) Typically, multiple objectives are submitted targeting major segments of the proposed topic.
- Key points (to serve as an outline for the position; accompanying peer-reviewed citations for each point should be included)
- Reference list

- Collaborating organizations and type of collaborations, if applicable (e.g., joint development with another society)

The position paper committee will review each submitted topic and rationale and decide on topics that will be forwarded to the SNEB Board of Directors (BOD) for vote. Once topics are approved by the BOD, authors and reviewers will be invited. SNEB position papers will be peer reviewed and published in JNEB.
