Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Researchers and clinicians who study nutrition and women’s health and need specialized lab measurements and dietary assessment capabilities.
✕Less likely to help
This grant does not fund patient care or directly enroll patients in a study.
What this research studies
This grant funds a new Nutrition Analytics Core Lab (NACL) with a central hub and satellite labs to help researchers measure nutrition status, body composition, blood chemistries, and dietary intake. It includes facilities for indirect calorimetry, stable isotope methods, and a metabolic kitchen to support dietary intervention studies. The goal is to create an interdisciplinary resource that accelerates nutrition and women’s health research across the university. Access will be open to faculty and staff to streamline high-quality data collection and analyses.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, researchers can more accurately assess nutrition and health, potentially speeding new insights into women's health and metabolic research.
How similar studies have gone: Other institutions have created centralized nutrition cores that improved study quality and efficiency, supporting broader translational work.
