A key cross-departmental nutrition-related activity is the DGAs, the cornerstone for many federal nutrition programs and policies (Supplemental Table 8) (179). The National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–445) requires the DGAs be reviewed by the Secretaries of both USDA and HHS. Since 1995, a memorandum of understanding between the 2 departments provides a framework for this joint USDA–HHS endeavor, with each department alternating in leading each 5-y edition (180). Regardless of departmental lead, the USDA CNPP conducts the evidence analysis and develops the corresponding consumer-facing education tools (144, 145). The HHS Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) aims to provide technical expertise and develop DGA-related resources for health professionals.
