Global Nutrition Research with an Impact

Researchers of the Institute for Global Nutrition generate evidence that shapes policies, programs, and investments aimed at reducing malnutrition in all its forms. We conduct rigorous, applied and cross-cutting research in global nutrition evaluating nutritional status, diets, and the impact of multi-sectoral interventions on nutrition, growth, health and development of low-income populations in the US and worldwide. Collaborating with experts across the world, the impact of our research extends beyond health, influencing education, economic productivity, and sustainable development, while guiding governments and international organizations to prioritize nutrition as a foundation for human capital and long-term wellbeing.
