Healthy Eating Research

Healthy Eating Research A national program supporting research to promote healthy eating among children.

Healthy Eating Research issues calls for proposals (CFPs) on a variety of topics related to environmental and policy research and solicits scientifically rigorous, solution-oriented proposals from investigators representing diverse disciplines and backgrounds. The program's overall aims are to identify strategies likely to have important population-level impacts and to provide decision- and policy-makers with evidence to guide and accelerate effective action to promote healthy eating among children, especially among lower-income and racial and ethnic minority population groups that are at highest risk for poor health and well-being and nutrition-related health disparities.
