Funding Information:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) supports preclinical and clinical research and training that covers the full range of the cancer continuum, from prevention to end of life. In fiscal year 2017 the NCI funded 377 grants and cooperative agreements involving nutrition research totaling $117 million. There are currently no targeted nutrition training solicitation programs; however, the portfolio of projects includes several grants that provide support to investigators at different stages in their careers including educational (R25) and training grants (T32) and career awards (K). Nutrition training may be provided via other mechanisms within larger research center grants (e.g., P01s, P30s, P50s). Funding opportunity announcements are available through the NCI’s Division of Cancer Prevention (90).

N2 - Nutrition plays an important role in health promotion and disease prevention and treatment across the lifespan. Physicians and other healthcare professionals are expected to counsel patients about nutrition, but recent surveys report minimal to no improvements in medical nutrition education in US medical schools. A workshop sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute addressed this gap in knowledge by convening experts in clinical and academic health professional schools. Representatives from the National Board of Medical Examiners, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, and the American Society for Nutrition provided relevant presentations. Reported is an overview of lessons learned from nutrition education efforts in medical schools and health professional schools including interprofessional domains and competency-based nutrition education. Proposed is a framework for coordinating activities of various entities using a public-private partnership platform. Recommendations for nutrition research and accreditation are provided.
