28 May 2020 --- Precision nutrition is set to be the guiding force in a new strategic plan from The National Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the US Department of Health and Human Services. The plan aims to accelerate nutrition science discoveries over the next decade, which will reflect a wide range of nutrition research supported across NIH. Last year alone, the research agency invested over US$1.9 billion in the form of grants, contracts and other funding mechanisms. The plan calls for a multidisciplinary approach through expanded collaboration across NIH Institutes and Centers to bolster nutrition science and uncover the role of human nutrition in improving public health and reducing disease.
