DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued support for the Nutrition Coordinating Center (NCC) at the University of Minnesota, as a national research resource. NCC has developed and maintains Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR), a Windows-based software designed to provide a standardized interview and direct data entry for the collection and analysis of 24-hour dietary recalls, and entry and analysis of food records, recipes, and menus. NCC has also developed and maintains a comprehensive food and nutrient database. This database includes over 18,000 foods and 8,000 brand products. Values for 155 nutrients, nutrient ratios and other food components are included in the database. NDSR and the NCC Food and Nutrient Database are used by researchers across the country in the conduct of a wide variety of nutrition-related investigations. Letters from those who rely on these resources indicate they are viewed as benchmarks for nutrition research that involves collecting and analyzing dietary recalls and food records. The proposed aims and objectives are focused on addressing the current and emerging needs of researchers. Aims include enhancing NDSR to streamline data entry, improve use with ethnic minorities, and maximize validity of nutrient intake estimates. We also propose to improve the dietary supplement assessment component of NDSR to streamline collection of supplement use information. Another aim is to add approximately 800 new foods to the NCC Food and Nutrient Database annually with a focus on adding restaurant and ethnic foods. Inclusion of market-reflective restaurant foods will streamline data entry, thereby minimizing participant burden and study-related costs. Including additional ethnic foods will accommodate assessing dietary intake of ethnic minorities. We propose to update nutrient information for existing foods in the database with a focus on foods and nutrients undergoing major marketplace changes. Validity of nutrient intake estimates will be optimized by this work. A final aim is to develop an online training that covers the basic functions of the NDSR software. This training will be useful in orienting new and updating experienced NDSR users on the basic functionalities of the software. The proposed aims will allow NCC to continue to serve as a national research resource by updating and improving the widely used research tools provided by this center.

描述（由申请人提供）： 此申请请求继续支持明尼苏达大学营养协调中心 (NCC) 作为国家研究资源。 NCC 开发并维护研究营养数据系统 (NDSR)，这是一款基于 Windows 的软件，旨在提供标准化访谈和直接数据输入，用于收集和分析 24 小时饮食召回以及食品记录、食谱的输入和分析和菜单。 NCC 还开发并维护了一个全面的食品和营养数据库。该数据库包含超过 18,000 种食品和 8,000 个品牌产品。数据库中包含 155 种营养素的值、营养素比例和其他食品成分。 NDSR 和 NCC 食品和营养数据库被全国各地的研究人员用来进行各种与营养相关的调查。那些依赖这些资源的人的来信表明，它们被视为营养研究的基准，其中涉及收集和分析饮食召回和食品记录。拟议的目的和目标侧重于满足研究人员当前和新出现的需求。目标包括增强 NDSR 以简化数据输入、改善少数民族的使用以及最大限度地提高营养摄入量估算的有效性。我们还建议改进 NDSR 的膳食补充剂评估部分，以简化补充剂使用信息的收集。另一个目标是每年向 NCC 食品和营养数据库添加约 800 种新食品，重点是添加餐厅和民族食品。纳入反映市场的餐厅食品将简化数据输入，从而最大限度地减少参与者的负担和研究相关成本。纳入额外的民族食品将有助于评估少数民族的膳食摄入量。我们建议更新数据库中现有食品的营养信息，重点关注市场发生重大变化的食品和营养成分。这项工作将优化营养摄入量估计的有效性。最终目标是开发涵盖 NDSR 软件基本功能的在线培训。该培训将有助于向新的和有经验的 NDSR 用户介绍软件的基本功能。拟议的目标将使 NCC 通过更新和改进该中心提供的广泛使用的研究工具，继续充当国家研究资源。
