The mission of the Division of Nutrition Research Coordination (DNRC) is to coordinate Nutritional Sciences-related research and research training across the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and among Federal Agencies by providing mechanisms to communicate research, research training, policy, and education initiatives. The DNRC facilitates the exchange of information, coordinates workshops and seminars on critical issues, encourages collaborations, and serves as the NIH primary point of contact for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and other agencies, departments, and organizations in matters pertaining to Nutritional Sciences and Physical Activity. Through its dedicated efforts of review, research stimulation, and technical support, the DNRC strives to better define the role of Nutritional Sciences and Physical Activity in the promotion and maintenance of health and in the prevention and treatment of disease.
