PROJECT SUMMARY The Enrichment Program, led by Dr. James O. Hill and Dr. Julie Locher, supports the overall mission of the NORC to promote multidisciplinary basic, clinical, and translational research and research training on the causal factors underlying nutrition- and obesity-related health problems and the generation and evaluation of evidence on their consequences, prevention, and alleviation. The Enrichment Program comprises a broad- based, comprehensive, and integrated set of activities that serves as a nidus for the formation of new ideas and collaborations among nutrition and obesity researchers. The program includes: (1) a seminar series, (2) national education and outreach (including short courses and national symposia), (3) special activities (including workshops, roundtables, etc.), (4) training programs (including at the pre-doctoral and postdoctoral levels), and (5) translational research and training. Our Enrichment Program aims to foster creative and impactful research that benefits our investigators and the scientific community at large. In order to ensure that our programs remain dynamic and responsive to our members’ needs, we continue to evolve with enhanced activities.
