Over the years, NIH has aimed to coordinate the diverse nutrition science research being conducted or supported across the agency through a range of initiatives, including recent efforts to help accelerate the science of obesity research (Supplemental Table 3) (121). In 1975, the NIH Nutrition Coordinating Committee (NCC) was established within the NIH Office of the Director to improve nutrition research coordination and communications within NIH and across the federal government (122). In 1993, NCC was moved from the Office of the Director, the highest level of leadership within NIH, into one of the institutes, NIDDK, where NIH Division of Nutrition Research Coordination (DNRC) was established (123). The DNRC comprised ∼10 full-time employees, more than half with PhDs. In 2015, DNRC was disbanded and transitioned from an NIDDK Division into an NIDDK Office, the Office of Nutrition Research (ONR) (123) [within NIDDK, a lower organizational stature and size than a division (124)]. The ONR now comprises 2 PhD-level scientists and 3 other staffers (125). The ONR hosts the renamed and slightly restructured NIH Nutrition Research Coordinating Committee (NRCC) (122). In 2016, one of the main tasks of ONR was to develop the first overall NIH strategic plan to expand mission-specific nutrition research (123). The NIH Nutrition Research Task Force was established later in 2016 to guide the development and implementation of the first NIH-wide strategic plan for nutrition research for the next 10 y (126). A draft plan was released for public comment in the Fall of 2018—the original date the final plan was to be made public (127, 128).
