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.

本申请要求继续支持营养协调中心（NCC）在大学 明尼苏达州，作为国家研究资源。NCC开发、提供和支持最先进的 与饮食研究中饮食数据的收集和分析相关的方法、数据库和软件 健康NCC拥有适合研究的最全面和详细的食物和营养数据库 目的方法、质量控制和培训是研究所需的最高质量。的 NCC人员、活动、软件、数据库和支持服务的地位都用列表记录下来 研究合作、客户研究者、来自全国研究者的支持信以及参考文献 在他们的研究中使用NCC方法和数据库的科学文献。四个具体 提出了目标。目标1的活动将维持和更新18，000种食品的净捐助国数据库， 与研究营养数据系统（NDS-R）软件相关的126种营养素，该软件收集，编码， 并分析饮食数据以生成所消耗的营养素。将增加五个额外的营养领域， 数据库和数据库的更新版本将随发布的软件版本一起发布 这样就可以反映出国家粮食供应的快速变化。食物分组计划将 开发并纳入NDS-R，以便可以计算每个服务的数量 的自动目标2的活动将增强NDS-R软件和内部计算机程序， 维护数据库，进一步提高灵活性、使用效率和数据管理功能。 目标3的活动将加强NCC网站，以改进和扩大其功能， 营养研究人员，客户和其他营养研究人员。目标4的活动将制定一个 评估膳食补充剂使用情况的计算机工具将纳入NDS-R软件。 这一工具将利用其他政府机构正在开发的补充数据库的内容。 拟议的全部工作将使NCC能够继续支持全国的生物医学研究， 产品和服务，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 帮助控制成本并确保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。
