Description
The NIH Office of Nutrition Research (ONR), in partnership with the University of Iowa, is seeking proposals for innovative and evidence-based approaches to integrate nutrition training into medical and nursing education. The challenge aims to identify, evaluate, and promote both established programs and emerging models with strong potential for dissemination.
