DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued support for the Nutrition Coordinating Center (NCC) at the University of Minnesota, as a national research resource. NCC develops, provides, and supports state-of-the-art methods, databases and software related to the collection and analysis of dietary data in studies of diet and health. NCC has the most comprehensive and detailed food and nutrient database appropriate for research purposes. Methodologies, quality control, and training are of the highest quality required for research. The stature of NCC personnel, activities, software, databases, and support services is documented with listings of study collaborations, client investigators, letters of support from investigators nationally, and references from the scientific literature that have used NCC methods and databases in their research. Four specific aims are proposed. Activities for Aim 1 will maintain and update the NCC database of 18,000 foods and 126 nutrients associated with the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDS-R) software that collects, codes, and analyzes dietary data to generate nutrients consumed. Five additional nutrient fields will be added to the database, and updated versions of the database will accompany the versions of the software released annually so that rapid changes in the nation's food supply can be represented. Food grouping schemes will be developed and incorporated into NDS-R so that the number of servings in each can be calculated automatically. Activities for Aim 2 will enhance the NDS-R software and in-house computer programs to maintain the database, to further improve flexibility, efficiency of use, and data management features. Activities for Aim 3 will enhance the NCC website to improve and expand it's functionality to better serve nutrition researchers, both clients and other nutrition researchers. Activities for Aim 4 will develop a computer-based tool for assessment of dietary supplement use to be incorporated into the NDS-R software. This tool will utilize the content of supplement databases being developed at other government agencies. The total proposed work will allow NCC to continue to support biomedical research nationally with its products and services, it will provide continuity and comparability for ongoing and future studies, and it will help control costs and ensure quality to NIH and other investigators for providing software, databases, and diet-related research services.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请要求继续支持明尼苏达大学的营养协调中心（NCC）作为国家研究资源。 NCC开发，提供和支持与饮食和健康研究中饮食数据收集和分析有关的最新方法，数据库和软件。 NCC拥有适合研究目的的最全面，最详细的食物和营养数据库。方法，质量控制和培训是研究所需的最高质量。 NCC人员，活动，软件，数据库和支持服务的身高已记录在研究合作，客户调查人员，全国调查人员的支持以及科学文献的参考文献中，并在其研究中使用了NCC方法和数据库。提出了四个具体目标。 AIM 1的活动将维护和更新与研究系统（NDS-R）软件相关的18,000份食物和126个营养素的NCC数据库，该软件（NDS-R）软件收集，代码和分析饮食数据以生成消耗的营养。数据库将添加五个其他营养领域，并且数据库的更新版本每年发布的软件版本都会伴随，以代表美国食品供应的快速变化。食品分组方案将被制定并纳入NDS-R，以便可以自动计算每种食物的数量。 AIM 2的活动将增强NDS-R软件和内部计算机程序，以维护数据库，以进一步提高灵活性，使用效率和数据管理功能。 AIM 3的活动将增强NCC网站，以改善和扩展其功能，以更好地为客户和其他营养研究人员提供营养研究人员。 AIM 4的活动将开发一种基于计算机的工具，用于评估饮食补充剂，以纳入NDS-R软件。该工具将利用其他政府机构开发的补充数据库的内容。拟议中的全部工作将使NCC能够通过其产品和服务在全国范围内支持全国生物医学研究，它将为正在进行的和未来的研究提供连续性和可比性，它将有助于控制成本，并确保NIH和其他研究人员提供软件，数据库和饮食相关的研究服务。
