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）： 该申请要求继续支持明尼苏达大学的营养协调中心（NCC）作为国家研究资源。 NCC已经开发并维护了基于Windows的软件研究系统（NDSR），旨在提供标准化的访谈和直接数据输入，以收集和分析24小时饮食召回，以及食物记录，食谱和菜单的输入和分析。 NCC还开发并维护了全面的食品和营养数据库。该数据库包括18,000多种食品和8,000个品牌产品。数据库中包括155种营养，养分比和其他食物成分的值。全国各地的研究人员使用NDSR和NCC食品和营养数据库，用于进行各种与营养有关的研究。依靠这些资源的人的来信表明，它们被视为营养研究的基准，涉及收集和分析饮食召回和食物记录。拟议的目的和目标集中在满足研究人员的当前和新兴需求上。目的包括增强NDSR以简化数据输入，改善对少数民族的使用以及最大程度地提高营养摄入量估计的有效性。我们还建议改善NDSR的饮食补充评估部分，以简化补充使用信息的收集。另一个目的是每年在NCC食品和营养数据库中添加大约800种新食品，重点是增加餐厅和民族食品。包括市场反射餐厅食品将简化数据输入，从而最大程度地减少参与者负担和与学习相关的成本。包括其他种族食品将适应评估少数民族的饮食摄入量。我们建议更新数据库中现有食品的营养信息，重点是经历重大市场变化的食物和营养。这项工作将优化营养摄入量估计的有效性。最终目的是开发涵盖NDSR软件基本功能的在线培训。该培训将有助于针对软件基本功能的新的和更新有经验的NDSR用户。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，继续作为国家研究资源。
