T1145 0-72 Sentence denotes Identified USDA strategies for strengthening national nutrition research
T1146 73-202 Sentence denotes In addition to NIH, the USDA is an important home for increased authority, coordination, and funding for nutrition science (110).
T1147 203-413 Sentence denotes As for NIH options, any new USDA strategy must leverage and strengthen, not supplant, existing extramural and intramural nutrition research efforts across USDA as well as other federal departments and agencies.
T1148 414-460 Sentence denotes Key identified strategies are discussed below.
T1149 461-530 Sentence denotes Each was considered as complementary, rather than mutually exclusive.
T1150 531-691 Sentence denotes Comparative advantages and disadvantages, executive and legislative considerations, and paths forward for these options should be the subject of future reports.
T1151 693-746 Sentence denotes Increased investment in nutrition research across REE
T1152 747-1046 Sentence denotes Declining appropriations for nutrition-relevant research and statistics at USDA, compounded by declining public investment in agrifood research and development, is limiting the nation's ability to fully understand and leverage the critical nexus between agriculture, food, and health (12, 146, 147).
T1153 1047-1233 Sentence denotes An emphasis on agricultural production research has created pressure on the USDA nutrition portfolio to respond to these growing research needs and opportunities with its limited budget.
T1154 1234-1478 Sentence denotes Strong Congressional appropriations for nutrition research across REE is critical to reestablish the US as the global leader in food and agricultural science and technology, which creates healthy and productive communities, families, and youth.
T1155 1479-1812 Sentence denotes A renewed commitment to advancing and integrating nutrition into the overall crop, livestock, food manufacturing, food safety, natural resources, and climate research agendas has tremendous potential to improve economic growth, national security, competitiveness, sustainability, climate resilience, food security, and public health.
T1156 1813-1986 Sentence denotes Such investment would also maximize cross-governmental coordination and public–private partnerships with the greatest potential to accelerate progress in this complex nexus.
T1157 1987-2173 Sentence denotes The USDA also implements major nutrition programs and thus must rely upon an integrated focus that connects nutrition research to policy and practice to improve the health of the public.
T1158 2174-2339 Sentence denotes To accomplish this integrated approach, each of the science mission areas at ARS, ERS, and NIFA must be at full capacity including sufficient staffing and resources.
T1159 2340-2685 Sentence denotes Nutrition research investment in ARS is essential for food-composition research and development, dietary surveys and food databases instrumental to national surveillance and scientific discovery, and the Human Nutrition Research Center network that pursues long-term, translation research priorities impractical to assess in short-term programs.
T1160 2686-2898 Sentence denotes NIFA complements ARS with competitive extramural funding vital to strengthening our nation's capacity to address opportunities related to diet, health, food safety, food security, and food science and technology.
T1161 2899-3070 Sentence denotes In addition, ERS provides invaluable food supply data, federal nutrition assistance program evaluations, and surveys on food insecurity and food acquisition and purchases.
T1162 3072-3135 Sentence denotes Expanded USDA research to improve public guidance and education
T1163 3136-3478 Sentence denotes As detailed in earlier sections, the USDA CNPP plays a major role in the development of the DGAs, with far-reaching implications for many federal and nonfederal policies and programs such as the suite of 15 federal nutrition assistance programs, FDA regulatory policies, and clinical guidance for individuals from allied health professionals.
T1164 3479-3617 Sentence denotes Yet, the CNPP 2020 budget is only $6.6 million for nutrition evidence reviews, committee support, and DGA-related educational development.
T1165 3618-3905 Sentence denotes Further work is needed to provide consistent funding and staff to maintain and protect the scientific integrity for nutrition evidence systematic reviews; fundamental nutrition research, monitoring, and surveillance processes; and to develop, translate, and disseminate dietary guidance.
T1166 3906-4008 Sentence denotes Other USDA investments in public guidance include SNAP-Ed, with $441 million in funding in 2020 (340).
T1167 4009-4430 Sentence denotes The benefits of this major effort could be further amplified by the creation of a robust SNAP-Ed infrastructure [e.g., similar to the USDA NIFA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) or SNAP Employment and Training] to support evaluation of novel educational interventions, including policy and systems changes, online purchasing strategies, and other environmental supports, using SNAP pilot authority (13).
T1168 4431-4824 Sentence denotes Similarly, expanded research on WIC Nutrition Education should address approaches to further strengthen this valuable program, such as new strategies for education on breastfeeding practices, food and beverage choices, sleep, and screen time, as well as novel information systems and technology including online, mobile, and telehealth options to deploy this guidance to WIC participants (13).
T1169 4825-5506 Sentence denotes Greater research on the USDA's State Nutrition Action Committee (SNAC) program—which helps states coordinate USDA food-assistance programs, Affordable Care Act community benefits, wellness, and other food and nutrition programs—and the USDA Farm to School Grant Program—which funds school districts, state and local agencies, Indian tribal organizations, agricultural producers, and nonprofit organizations to increase local foods served through child nutrition programs, teach children about food and agriculture through garden and classroom education, and develop schools’ and farmers’ capacities to participate in farm to school—would amplify benefits of these investments (13).
T1170 5508-5588 Sentence denotes Innovative USDA research to strengthen benefits of nutrition assistance programs
T1171 5589-5817 Sentence denotes New research efforts supported by USDA, as well as NIH, are critical to develop the evidence base and collaborations to further augment the positive impacts of large federal investments in nutrition assistance (∼$100 billion/y).
T1172 5818-6015 Sentence denotes Such research must, for example, delineate and address the tremendous increases in food insecurity, associated economic disruptions, and nutrition-related health disparities stemming from COVID-19.
T1173 6016-6178 Sentence denotes Now is the time to expand our understanding of the best approaches to increase the public health impacts of our suite of 15 federal nutrition assistance programs.
T1174 6179-6456 Sentence denotes This approach can include, for instance, new USDA-supported pilots and waivers to evaluate innovations that better support healthier eating in SNAP (e.g., healthy retail approaches, healthy food incentives combined with disincentives, online purchasing technologies) (13, 341).
T1175 6457-6700 Sentence denotes Further critical research needs include how USDA's nutrition assistance programs can be better integrated and coordinated with other federal and state programs, in particular Medicaid and Medicare, to improve diet-related health outcomes (13).
T1176 6701-6905 Sentence denotes These translational research investments will help address the varying geographic, contextual, and cultural needs of Americans and ensure the most effective outcomes from these essential federal programs.
