The first NIH-wide strategic plan for nutrition research emphasizes cross-cutting, innovative opportunities to advance nutrition research across a wide range of areas, from basic science to experimental design to research training. These opportunities complement and enhance ongoing research efforts across NIH to improve health and to prevent or combat diseases and conditions affected by nutrition.

The plan was developed by the NIH Nutrition Research Task Force (NRTF) with extensive input from the broader external research community and the public. The NRTF provides updates on the plan’s implementation on their webpage.
