21 Jul 2020 --- A white paper from a group of US research, policy and government experts has laid out two complementary strategies for harmonizing and expanding federal investment in nutrition science. The creation of a new Office of the National Director of Food and Nutrition (ONDFN) or US Task Force on Federal Nutrition Research is proposed to improve cross-government coordination of nutrition research. Meanwhile, the paper also calls for nutrition research within the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) to be strengthened and accelerated, possibly by creating a National Institute of Nutrition.
