Description of Collaborative Activity: |
NICHD held six conferences concerning an initiative entitled Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development (BOND). The goal of the BOND initiative is to provide information and service to support the entire nutrition research and global health enterprise and to include core elements of discovery, development and delivery/implementation. Each BOND conference focused on one of the six case study nutrients - Vitamin A, Iron, Zinc, Folate, Iodine and Vitamin B12. These nutrients were selected by the BOND Steering Committee based on their perceived public health importance and unique challenges related to the biomarker agenda. |
