NATIONAL COLLABORATIVE ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY RESEARCH (NCCOR) COORDINATING CENTER

当NCCOR在2009年成立时，美国的儿童肥胖率几十年来一直在稳步上升。这一趋势导致人们更加重视研究预防肥胖症的必要性，并制定促进健康饮食和体育活动的公共和私营部门倡议。美国四家最大的儿童肥胖症研究资助者--美国农业部、美国疾病控制和预防中心、美国国立卫生研究院和罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会--认识到他们在减少儿童肥胖症方面的共同利益，并成立了NCCOR。自推出以来，FHI 360一直管理着NCCOR协调中心，专注于跨机构的战略和合作，以提高改善儿童肥胖的研究的有效性和应用。FHI 360在以下领域为合作伙伴关系提供关键支持：确定集体行动和研究的机会；建立知识库以找到解决方案；管理传播工作以传播资源和证据。

When NCCOR was formed in 2009, childhood obesity rates had been rising steadily in the United States for several decades. This trend led to an increased focus on the need for research to prevent obesity and develop public- and private-sector initiatives promoting healthy eating and physical activity. Four of the nation’s largest childhood obesity research funders – the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation – recognized their common interest in reducing childhood obesity and formed NCCOR. Since the launch, FHI 360 has managed the NCCOR Coordinating Center, focusing on strategy and collaboration across agencies to improve the effectiveness and application of research to improve childhood obesity. FHI 360 provides critical support to the collaborative in areas such as identifying opportunities for collective action and research, building the knowledge base to find solutions and managing communications efforts to disseminate resources and evidence.
