TECHNICAL NUTRITION SUPPORT FOR NATIONAL DIETARY DATABASES (2020-2025) - TO ANALYZE AND REPORT NATIONAL DIETARY INTAKE DATA COLLECTED IN WHAT WE EAT IN AMERICA (WWEIA), NHANES IN VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC VENUES TO ADDRESS TOPICAL NUTRITION ISSUES, AND REVIEW AND UPDATE USDA'S AUTOMATED MULTIPLE-PASS METHOD (AMPM), AND THE FOOD AND NUTRIENT DATABASE FOR DIETARY STUDIES (FNDDS) TO ASSURE THAT INFORMATION COLLECTED AND REPORTED ABOUT INTAKES OF FOODS AND BEVERAGES IN WHAT WE EAT IN AMERICA (WWEIA) ARE CURRENT WITH TODAY'S FOOD SUPPLY CHANGES.

SUPPORT FOR THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF NUTRITION CONFERENCE, "ADVANCES AND CONTROVERSIES IN CLINICAL NUTRITION"

DIET- AND EXERCISE-INDUCED EPIGENETIC ALTERATIONS OF SKELETAL MUSCLE AND WHITE, BEIGE, AND BROWN ADIPOCYTES - THE OBJECTIVE OF FUNDING THIS SYMPOSIUM IS TO ENHANCE THE VISIBILITY OF THE IMPORTANT RESEARCH CONDUCTED AT ARS BY: 1) PROVIDING A FORUM FOR THE CUTTING EDGE RESEARCH PRESENTED BY PROMINENT SCIENTISTS AND TO HAVE PARTICIPANTS MEET, NETWORK AND EXCHANGE IDEAS WITH OTHER LEADING INVESTIGATORS IN THEIR FIELD, AND 2) BY SHOWCASING THE USDA AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE (ARS) STRATEGIC GOAL NO. 1.1.D: DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION OF OBESITY AND RELATED DISEASES LEARNING OBJECTIVES ARE: 1. TO UNDERSTAND HOW ADIPOSE TISSUE EPIGENETIC ALTERATIONS CONTRIBUTE TO OFFSPRING OBESITY 2. TO UNDERSTAND IMPORTANCE OF PRE- AND POSTNATAL DIET AND EXERCISE FOR PROGRAMMING THE RATE OF ENERGY METABOLISM WITHIN ADIPOSE AND SKELETAL MUSCLE TISSUES AND 3. TO UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT EVIDENCE FOR THE TARGETING OF NUTRIENT- AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY-SENSITIVE EPIGENETIC PATHWAYS FOR PREVENTING OFFSPRING OBESITY.

ROLE OF ADIPOSE TISSUE ARCHITECTURE AND THE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX IN METABOLISM AND DISEASE SYMPOSIUM

MICRONUTRIOMICS FOR POPULATION-LEVEL WOMEN, INFANT, AND CHILD-FOCUSED PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS - 1 PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 2 3 OMIC METHODOLOGIES CAN IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE METABOLIC, PROTEOMIC AND GENOMIC 4 CONSEQUENCES OF MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES AND INTERVENTIONS IN UNDERNOURISHED POPULATIONS INCLUDING 5 PREGNANT WOMEN, CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS CONFERENCE WILL EXAMINE THE USE OF NEW 6 OMIC TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODS TO ASSESS THE EFFECTS OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS ON HEALTH; IMPROVE 7 ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTIONS; AND BROADEN KNOWLEDGE ON THE IMPACT OF NUTRITION ON PREGNANCY AND 8 FETAL, CHILD AND ADOLESCENT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. THE USE OF OMICS TO DETECT THE IMPACT OF 9 MICRONUTRIENT INTERVENTIONS WILL RESULT IN TREMENDOUS PUBLIC HEALTH LEARNINGS RELATED TO PREGNANCY 10 OUTCOME AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT. 11 12 LOW INTAKES OF MANY MICRONUTRIENTS ARE COMMON IN MANY UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS, RESULTING IN 13 CHRONIC, MARGINAL DEFICIENCIES WHICH MAY NOT PRODUCE CLINICAL SYMPTOMS, BUT LIKELY CAUSE UNDERLYING 14 METABOLIC CHANGES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. SIMILARLY, MICRONUTRIENT INTERVENTIONS, EITHER WITH SINGLE 15 OR MULTIPLE MICRONUTRIENTS, ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE MYRIAD METABOLIC CHANGES OF CONSEQUENCE TO HEALTH THAT 16 ARE NOT YET IDENTIFIED. OMICS IS A POWERFUL TOOL THAT WILL ELUCIDATE THE EFFECTS OF MICRONUTRIENT 17 DEFICIENCIES AND INTERVENTIONS AT THE POPULATION LEVEL. LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT SUBCLINICAL AND/OR MARGINAL 18 MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES ON METABOLISM AND HEALTH OF UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS, OR THE EFFECTS OF 19 MICRONUTRIENT INTERVENTIONS ON THE METABOLOME, THE GENOME OR THE PROTEOME. GIVEN THE ENORMOUS 20 ONGOING EFFORTS IN MICRONUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTATION AND FORTIFICATION WORLD-WIDE, THESE ARE CRITICAL 21 KNOWLEDGE GAPS. CONVENING EXPERTS IN OMICS AND EXPERTS IN POPULATION-LEVEL MICRONUTRIENT NUTRITION 22 RESEARCH AND INTERVENTION PROGRAMS AND THE PLANNED COLLABORATIVE DISCUSSIONS WILL HIGHLIGHT FUTURE 23 JOINT RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES, AS WELL AS AVAILABLE SAMPLES AND ANALYSES, FOR BOTH BASIC AND APPLIED 24 INVESTIGATORS IN THE AREA OF PUBLIC HEALTH NUTRITION SPECIFIC TO MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH. THE CONFERENCE 25 WILL ALLOW RESEARCHERS TO PRIORITIZE EXISTING SAMPLES AND ANALYSES OF MATERNAL AND BIRTH TO 24-MONTHS 26 POPULATIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AND IDENTIFY INVESTIGATORS WHO WILL LEAD FUTURE OMICS ANALYSES. THROUGH 27 OMICS, WE CAN UNDERSTAND AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES OF GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH IMPORTANCE RELATED TO HIGH- 28 RISK PREGNANCY, CHILD AND ADOLESCENT GROWTH, WASTING, STUNTING, INFLAMMATION, MATERNAL AND CHILD 29 SURVIVAL, AND DISEASE PREVENTION.
