T469 0-5 Sentence denotes ICHNR
T470 6-151 Sentence denotes In 1977, Congress recognized the need and called for improved coordination of human nutrition research (Public Law 95–113) (Supplemental Text 1).
T471 152-349 Sentence denotes Congress further requested its Office of Technology Assessment to review existing federal human nutrition research, with findings published in the 1978 report Nutrition Research Alternatives (106).
T472 350-485 Sentence denotes This report found that federal nutrition research programs had failed to deal with the changing health problems of the American people.
T473 486-713 Sentence denotes In response, Congress chartered the Joint Subcommittee on Human Nutrition Research (JSHNR), under the aegis of OSTP, who, in a 1980 report, recommended an improved planning system to coordinate federal nutrition research (161).
T474 714-1021 Sentence denotes In 1982, the GAO was also asked to review federal nutrition research and concluded that the government had no overall federal nutrition plan with specific goals or unified and coordinated strategies, while acknowledging the ongoing work of USDA, HHS, and OSTP to develop a coordinated planning system (162).
T475 1022-1117 Sentence denotes In 1983, JSHNR completed its review and recommendations, leading to the formation of the ICHNR.
T476 1118-1548 Sentence denotes The aim of ICHNR was to fill the identified gaps of insufficient planning and coordination and achieve “the pursuit of new knowledge to improve the understanding of nutrition as it relates to human health and disease … in 5 major areas: biomedical and behavioral sciences, food sciences, nutrition monitoring and surveillance, nutrition education, and impact on nutrition of intervention programs and socioeconomic factors” (161).
T477 1549-1776 Sentence denotes ICHNR co-chairs are the HHS Assistant Secretary for Health and USDA Undersecretary for Research, Education, and Economics (who is also USDA Chief Scientist)—positions filled by Presidential appointment with Senate confirmation.
T478 1777-1865 Sentence denotes ICHNR includes representatives from multiple federal departments and agencies (Table 1).
T479 1866-1956 Sentence denotes After some early collaborative successes, ICHNR had a ≥10-y hiatus (Supplemental Table 5).
T480 1957-2062 Sentence denotes Reassembled in 2013, ICHNR recognized the need for a new effort to coordinate federal nutrition research.
T481 2063-2152 Sentence denotes This resulted in a new strategic plan, the National Nutrition Research Roadmap 2016–2021:
T482 2153-2217 Sentence denotes Advancing Nutrition Research to Improve and Sustain Health (11).
T483 2218-2260 Sentence denotes The Roadmap was framed around 3 questions:
T484 2261-2347 Sentence denotes How can we better understand and define eating patterns to improve and sustain health?
T485 2348-2411 Sentence denotes What can be done to help people choose healthy eating patterns?
T486 2412-2518 Sentence denotes How can we develop and engage innovative methods and systems to accelerate discoveries in human nutrition?
T487 2519-2963 Sentence denotes Across these 3 questions, 11 topical areas were identified based on population impact, feasibility given current technological capacities, and emerging scientific opportunities (Supplemental Figure 1) within which 120 short- and long-term research and resource initiatives were defined. Each of the participating ICHNR departments or agencies also briefly described their own interests in the Roadmap's 11 topical areas (Supplemental Figure 2).
T488 2964-3166 Sentence denotes The Roadmap also identified gaps in the US nutrition research workforce and put forth recommendations for developing a diverse, interdisciplinary workforce able to advance nutritional sciences research.
T489 3167-3330 Sentence denotes Notably, the Roadmap did not include any data, findings, or recommendations on current or new nutrition research investment levels, leadership, or structures (11).
T490 3331-3581 Sentence denotes Thus, the Roadmap lacked any prioritization between the 120 identified initiatives, due to variable and nonharmonized funding criteria, priorities, and capacities across federal, nonprofit, and private-sector research agencies in the US and globally.
T491 3582-3720 Sentence denotes This may be why a 2017 analysis found only early signs of implementation of the Roadmap among ICHNR member departments and agencies (163).
T492 3721-3920 Sentence denotes ICHNR recognized that further engagement with the extramural scientific community and leveraging existing or new public–private partnerships would be important to achieving the Roadmap's goals (163).
T493 3921-4084 Sentence denotes Currently, ICHNR has a narrower focus, meeting about twice per year to discuss the DGAs, DRIs, and a potential new federal database of nutrition research projects.
T494 4085-4185 Sentence denotes There are few other indicators of current use or monitoring of the Roadmap's aims or progress (164).
T495 4186-4395 Sentence denotes Although ICHNR is the current major entity charged with improving coordination among federal departments and agencies engaged in nutrition research (164), several structural challenges have limited its impact.
T496 4396-4682 Sentence denotes These include lack of any strong or consistent connection to the White House, no specific budget appropriations, no mechanism for reporting to Congress, and absence of any well-supported infrastructure for external advisory input on cross-governmental strategies for nutrition research.
