Webinar

Advancing Federal Nutrition Research to Improve America's Health

Wednesday, July 15, 2020

11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET

The COVID-19 pandemic has further emphasized the need to bolster nutrition research as the disease has challenged the food system and exacerbated food insecurity for millions of Americans. Greater federal coordination and investment in nutrition research could accelerate discoveries across critical areas and positively impact the economy, public health, and population resilience to COVID-19 and new threats.

Join the Bipartisan Policy Center and Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy on July 15 for the release of a white paper and important discussion on key strategies to strengthen federal nutrition research and coordination.

An announcement of a coalition of major organizations – see current members to-date – who stand in support of the need for greater investment in federal nutrition research will also be made at the event.
