Research conducted at the Friedman School strives to identify science-based solutions to nutritional crises caused by food insecurity, natural disaster, disease, obesity, and aging. Through projects undertaken by its faculty, students, and centers, the school plays an active role in devising interventions and policy guidelines that make a real difference in the world.
Endowed funds support these efforts by providing seed money for new research initiatives as well as intellectual and financial incentives for multidisciplinary, cross-school research partnerships.
As a school of nutrition located within a major research university, the Friedman School is well positioned to build strong collaborative approaches to solving complex societal problems. Researchers can draw upon the expertise of faculty in medicine, biological sciences, and law and diplomacy across the University.
Thanks to strategic partnerships with communities, states, and public health agencies, the Friedman School promotes real-world research applications that carry out the school’s mission of advancing nutritional well-being.
