The Center for Health and Nutrition Research is funded by the Vitamin Case Consumer Settlement Fund, which was established using funds paid to settle the State of California's anti-trust lawsuit over price fixing by six vitamin manufacturers that controlled 80 percent of the world´s vitamin market. A major goal of the Center is to promote the health of Californians by identifying the roles of California fruits, vegetables and nuts in providing vitamins and other phytochemicals that can lower the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. |

lactation@ucdavis.edu The UC Davis Human Lactation Center provides a focal point for communication among researchers, clinicians, policy-makers and educators to assure that the latest research-based information is made available to those working with lactating women and their infants. The center aims also to foster communication and collaboration among faculty and other professionals interested in human lactation research. |

The purpose of the RIDE program is to stimulate innovative research related to food assistance and nutrition. In particular, the program encourages identification of nutritional risk indicators (anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary) that can be used to measure the impact of food assistance programs. Proposals may also address determinants of diet and nutritional outcomes, particularly obesity, in the food assistance-eligible population. To examine the impact of food assistance, cross-sectional data often need to be complemented with case studies that explore help-seeking and food-related behaviors over time, particularly in diverse subgroups of the population. Since effects of food assistance on dietary intakes have been observed, research is needed on food patterns, as well as nutrient intakes. More research is also needed on food expenditure patterns and food security, incorporating the 18-item Food Security instrument used in the Current Population Survey. |

The Journal of Human Lactation (JHL) publishes articles reporting original research, commentaries relating to human lactation and breastfeeding behavior, case reports relevant to the practicing lactation consultant and other health professionals who assist lactating mothers or their breastfeeding infants, and discussions of the business aspects of lactation consulting. |
