**EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**

This report describes FY 1996 activities of the Human Nutrition Research
and Information Management (HNRIM) system, a Federal government-wide,
online database created for the purpose of fiscal accounting,
management, and control of cross‑agency human nutrition research
activities. The database was developed under a plan for a human
nutrition management system, pursuant to Section 1427 of the National
Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (P.L.
95-113), as amended by Section 1425 of the National Agricultural
Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act Amendments of 1981 (P.L.
97‑98), and repealed by Section 1413 of the Food Security Act of 1985
(P.L. 99-198). The plan initially developed under this section, which
continues to operate under the auspices of the Interagency Committee on
Human Nutrition Research, calls for submission of annual reports on the
HNRIM system. This is the fifteenth annual report submitted under the
plan.

The HNRIM system resides on the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
mainframe computer and is updated yearly by the HNRIM System
Coordinator, a staff member in the NIH Division of Nutrition Research
Coordination, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Diseases. Fully operational since FY 1985, the HNRIM system encompasses
data from six Cabinet‑level agencies and two independent agencies on
approximately 4,000 Federally supported human nutrition research
projects, including narrative descriptions for most projects. The
information can be retrieved through an interactive, online inquiry
system.

Entry of FY 1996 data into the HNRIM system was completed as of July
1998. The most frequently queried research categories during FY 1996
were (in order of frequency): Sponsoring Group (i.e., Division,
Institute), Sponsoring Agency, Narrative Content, and Sponsoring
Department. The database was queried a total of 215 times during
FY 1996.

Tables of expenditures by agency and support mechanism are presented, as
are tabulations of the number of research projects by HNRIM nutrition
research classification code and agency. FY 1996 Federal nutrition
research and training dollars totaled \$550 million, representing an
increase of 1.9 percent over the \$540 million expended in FY 1995. In
FY 1996, 81 percent of these funds were expended by the Department of
Health and Human Services, and 14 percent by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. The remaining agencies each had smaller programs that
contributed 3 percent or less of total Federal nutrition research and
training dollars.

Of the \$550 million total FY 1996 Federal expenditure in support of
nutrition research and training, \$466 million supported extramural
research, and \$84 million supported intramural research. Also included
in this total were expenditures of \$5 million for research manpower
development, \$5 million for extramural training, and \$18 million for
research on public information and education.

The HNRIM database has been available to the public in computer‑readable
form on a fee basis since September 1986, through the National Technical
Information Service of the Department of Commerce. In addition, the
database was made publicly available in October, 1990, through the
Dialog Information Retrieval Service, as a subset of the Department of
Agriculture\'s Current Research Information System (CRIS) database. A
public access interface to the HNRIM system via the World Wide Web is
under development.

**INTRODUCTION**

On July 23, 1982, the Secretaries of Agriculture and of Health and Human
Services transmitted to Congress the \"Plan for a Human Nutrition
Research and Information Management (HNRIM) System.\" This plan was
prepared pursuant to Section 1427 of the National Agricultural Research,
Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (7 U.S.C. 3177), as amended
by Section 1425 of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act Amendments of 1981 (Title XIV of P.L. 97‑98). That
Section provides as follows:

[Human Nutrition Research and Information Management System]{.underline}

> Section 1427. The Secretary \[of Agriculture\] and the Secretary of
> Health and Human Services shall formulate and submit to Congress,
> within one hundred and eighty days after the date of enactment of this
> section, a plan for a human nutrition research management system. This
> system shall be based on online data support capability allowing for
> fiscal accounting, management, and control of cross‑agency human
> nutrition research activities. The plan shall provide for management
> activities of all agencies managing funds for human nutrition research
> activities under existing authorities and contain recommendations for
> any additional authorities necessary to achieve a human nutrition
> research management system.

Section 1427 of the National Agricultural Research Extension and
Teaching Policy Act was repealed by Section 1413 of the Food Security
Act of 1985 (P.L. 99-198). The plan initially developed under this
section, which continues to operate under the auspices of the
Interagency Committee on Human Nutrition Research, calls for submission
of annual reports on the HNRIM system. This report describes HNRIM
system activities from October 1995 through September 1996 (FY 1996).

**CURRENT STATUS OF THE HNRIM SYSTEM**

The HNRIM system has been fully operational since FY 1985. It includes
data on nutrition research and training expenditures from six
Cabinet-level agencies \[Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Department of Veterans Affairs
(DVA), Agency for International Development (AID), Department of Defense
(DOD), and Department of Commerce (DOC)\]; it also includes data from
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National
Science Foundation (NSF), when they sponsor nutrition research. The
information provided for each project includes name, institution, and
address of the principal investigator; title of the research project;
sponsoring Federal agency; project number assigned by the agency; total
fiscal year expenditures of the project; proportion of the project that
is nutrition related; estimated nutrition expenditures; and nutrition
classification code(s). In addition, abstracts are included for each
project when made available by the sponsoring agency. The information
can be retrieved through an interactive query system.

The database operates under the auspices of the Interagency Committee on
Human Nutrition Research (ICHNR). It resides on the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) mainframe computer, and is updated yearly by the
reporting agencies through the HNRIM System Coordinator, a staff member
in the NIH Division of Nutrition Research Coordination (DNRC), National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).
Projects are selected for inclusion in the HNRIM system by the
sponsoring agency, based upon a common definition of human nutrition
research (appendix A) agreed upon by the ICHNR. Projects are assigned
nutrition classification codes (appendix B) compatible with the ICHNR
definition of human nutrition research.

The most recent annual submissions by each agency comprise the online
HNRIM database, with submissions from prior years preserved on computer
tape for easy accessibility. At this writing, the online HNRIM database
contains FY 1996 data; data for prior fiscal years are preserved on
tape. Entry of FY 1996 data into the HNRIM system was completed as of
July 1998 for all participating agencies.

Appendix C shows numbers of FY 1996 projects in the online HNRIM
database in each nutrition research classification category. Table C-1
reports this information by participating DHHS agency, while Table C‑2
reports the data by participating Federal agency. With respect to number
of projects, the four leading categories for all participating agencies
in FY 1996 were (in order of frequency): "Cancer and Nutrition," "Lipids
(Fats and Oils)," "Cardiovascular Disease and Nutrition," and "Other
Diseases and Nutrition."

The HNRIM database was queried 215 times during FY 1996. The most
frequently queried data items were: Sponsoring Group and Agency,
Narrative Content, and Sponsoring Department. A complete analysis of the
categories queried is presented in appendix D. Virtually all queries
were performed by the System Coordinator, either as part of the process
of updating the database, in support of reports and publications within
the DNRC, or in response to requests for searches by NIH personnel,
other Federal agencies, higher administrative levels within DHHS, and
the public. HNRIM system data were utilized in such publications as the
*Report of the NIH Program in Biomedical and Behavioral Nutrition
Research and Training; Nutrition Research at the NIH*; and the *Report
on USDA Human Nutrition Research and Education Activities*.

**FEDERAL EXPENDITURES FOR NUTRITION RESEARCH AND TRAINING, FY 1996**

Table I presents FY 1996 Federal nutrition research and training
expenditures by agency. In FY 1996 a total of \$550 million provided
support for 4,741 projects. The DHHS expended \$446 million, or
81 percent of total funds, and funded 57 percent of all projects. Within
DHHS, NIH accounted for expenditures of \$439 million, or 80 percent of
Federal expenditures and 98 percent of DHHS expenditures in nutrition
research and training. The USDA expended \$76 million, representing
14 percent of total funds and 25 percent of total projects. The
remaining agencies each had smaller programs that contributed 3 percent
or less of total Federal nutrition research and training dollars.

Federal expenditures for nutrition research and training over the past
ten years are summarized in Table II; more detailed data for fiscal
years 1995-1987 have also been included for informational purposes, and
are shown in Tables III-XI, respectively. DHHS and USDA, the two largest
contributors of Federal dollars for nutrition research and training,
show an increase of 2.5 percent and a decrease of 9.4 percent,
respectively, for FY 1996 over FY 1995. Total Federal nutrition research
and training expenditures increased 1.7 percent during the same time
period.

In \"real dollar\" terms[^1] (i.e., when dollars are adjusted for
projected inflationary price increases of approximately 2.6 percent in
the biomedical research and development sector), DHHS nutrition research
and training dollars decreased 0.1 percent; USDA nutrition research and
training dollars decreased 11.7 percent; and total Federal nutrition
research and training expenditures decreased 0.8 percent, for FY 1996
over FY 1995.

Table XII presents FY 1996 nutrition expenditures in five categories of
activities: extramural research, research manpower development,
extramural training, intramural research, and intramural training, as
well as research on public information and education. Funding for
extramural research ‑‑ i.e., research in undergraduate and graduate
schools of nutrition, in basic science departments of universities, in
schools of medicine, dentistry and public health, in other schools for
health professionals, and in research facilities throughout the United
States and in foreign countries ‑‑ represented by far the largest
category, at \$466 million. (The bulk of this category was provided by
NIH, which, consistent with congressional guidance, obligates the
majority of its research support to extramural research.) Funding for
intramural research in government laboratories amounted to \$84 million.
Research manpower development funds and extramural training funds
totaled \$5 million each. Funds for research on public information and
education totaled \$18 million. (Values in the latter category, which
overlaps all others shown in the table, are shown in parentheses because
they are not added into the \"total\" column.). The DHHS was the lead in
all categories of support for nutrition research and training except
intramural research, in which USDA was the lead.

Table XIII indicates the distribution of Federal human nutrition
research and training expenditures by support mechanism for FY 1996.
Grants (investigator‑initiated research) amounted to \$338 million, up
4.6 percent over the preceding fiscal year. Intramural research and
training totaled \$84 million, down 8.2 percent from FY 1995. Research
contracts accounted for expenditures of \$58 million, and cooperative
agreements totaled \$60 million, figures which represent a decrease of
9.7 percent, and an increase of 20 percent, respectively, over the
preceding fiscal year. Formula grants and interagency agreements
accounted for \$9 million and \$1 million, respectively, of Federal
nutrition research and training expenditures.

**PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF THE HNRIM DATABASE**

Computer‑readable copies of the HNRIM database are available for sale to
the general public through the National Technical Information Service
(NTIS) of the Department of Commerce. Consistent with Federal policy
established for the Federal Research in Progress (FRIP) System and for
the USDA Current Research Information System (CRIS), expenditure figures
on individual projects are not made publicly available. Currently, data
for fiscal years 1982‑94 are available through NTIS.

In July 1987, the ICHNR approved a joint proposal by USDA staff and the
HNRIM System Coordinator that the HNRIM database be made available to
the public through Dialog Information Retrieval Service, as a part of
USDA\'s CRIS database. The process of converting HNRIM system data to a
format compatible with that of the CRIS database was completed, and
FY 1988 HNRIM system data were made available to the public through
Dialog, in October 1990. The database will continue to reside online in
the NIH mainframe computer (from which fiscal data will be available)
and to be available for purchase through NTIS. A public access interface
to the HNRIM system via the World Wide Web is under development.

Appendix A

**INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE ON HUMAN NUTRITION RESEARCH**

**DEFINITION OF HUMAN NUTRITION RESEARCH**

Human nutrition research is the pursuit of new knowledge to improve the
understanding of nutrition as it relates to human health and disease
and, as here defined, encompasses studies in five major areas:
biomedical and behavioral sciences, food sciences, nutrition monitoring
and surveillance, nutrition education, and impact on nutrition of
intervention programs and socioeconomic factors.

I. RESEARCH IN THE BIOMEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES

Studies in the biomedical and behavioral sciences aspect of human
nutrition research address factors that impact on or are affected by
food or nutrient intake and those affecting utilization of food or
nutrients by the intact organism (animal model or human being), and the
metabolic and behavioral mechanisms involved. Studies found here
include:

> o Investigations of nutrient variables at the cellular and subcellular
> level.
>
> o Dietary and nutrition studies relating to the health status of
> humans, such as the maintenance of health and the treatment of
> disease. Such studies might take the form of clinical trials,
> epidemiological studies, or metabolic studies.
>
> o Studies designed to explain the metabolic role or function of
> nutrients in humans and in animal or other biological models relevant
> to human nutrition.
>
> o Studies concerned with genetic-nutrient-environmental interactions
> in humans, where a nutrient is an experimental variable.
>
> o Studies of the interaction of diets and nutrients with toxic
> materials, man-made or naturally occurring, including drugs and
> carcinogenic agents.

II\. RESEARCH IN FOOD SCIENCES

Under the food sciences aspect of human nutrition research fall studies
primarily concerned with the nutritional quality, content, or
composition of foods, or with the bioavailability of nutrients in foods.
Research activities related to the food sciences that are included in
human nutrition research are:

> o Studies on the nutritional characteristics of foods and diets for
> human use as influenced by various factors. Some factors are varietal
> and species differences, harvest and post-harvest technology, food
> processing, transportation, and retail food practices \-- when such
> studies are designed specifically to increase knowledge of human
> nutrition.
>
> o Studies on cost-effective methods that will improve the speed,
> accuracy and reliability with which food components of nutritional
> importance are analyzed.

III\. RESEARCH ON NUTRITION MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE OF POPULATIONS

This aspect of human nutrition research covers epidemiological and
methodological studies that provide data on food consumption, dietary
practices, nutritional status, and general health status as it may
relate to nutrition. Some examples of such studies include:

> o Epidemiological surveys of food consumption patterns and dietary
> practices.
>
> o Methodological studies of food consumption survey techniques.
>
> o Studies of trends in dietary habits and food consumption as they
> affect health or nutritional status.
>
> o Studies that seek to relate dietary history, biochemical
> determinants, anthropometry data, clinical examination results, etc.

IV\. RESEARCH IN NUTRITION EDUCATION

Nutrition education research employs methods from psychology, sociology,
anthropology, communications, education, economics, consumer research,
and social marketing. Its intent is to determine the most effective
means of conveying information about the health impact of various
dietary practices and advances in human nutrition science to the general
public and to health professionals. Such studies include but are not
limited to:

> o Studies of factors that facilitate or impede information transfer
> and of those that mediate the translation of knowledge into behavioral
> change, as these factors relate to knowledge of good nutrition. These
> factors might include the public\'s comprehension of, interest in or
> concern for, and use of nutrition and diet/health relationship
> information.
>
> o Studies that identify, develop, test and evaluate effective and
> efficient strategies for delivering nutrition information to various
> target groups under varying nutrition education objectives.
>
> o Studies to identify those factors (technological, educational,
> sociocultural, motivational, etc.) that cause change in dietary habits
> and food consumption behavior, and the development of theories, models
> and methods to study such factors.
>
> o Surveillance studies of the marketplace to identify industry efforts
> to convey nutrition information to the public.

V. RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTS OF SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS AND INTERVENTION
PROGRAMS AND POLICIES ON FOOD CONSUMPTION AND HUMAN NUTRITION

Interventions, government policies, scientific advances, and other
socioeconomic phenomena can and do influence food consumption and
nutritional status. Thus, studies of the changes and trends relevant to
nutritional health that occur as a consequence are appropriately
included in human nutrition research.

Appendix B

**HNRIM CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM**

Projects included in the HNRIM system are selected and coded for
submission by the sponsoring agency, based upon the classification
system following. This classification system has its origins in the
definition of human nutrition research developed by the NIH Nutrition
Coordinating Committee (NCC) in 1977. The Joint Subcommittee on Human
Nutrition Research, operating out of the Office of Science and
Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President, expanded the
NIH definition to include the human nutrition research activities
supported by participating Federal agencies, and developed a system of
34 data classification categories for human nutrition research. In
FY 1985, Code 35, \"Parenteral, Enteral, and Elemental Nutrition,\" was
added under Section I, subsection B by the ICHNR, which now oversees
operation of the database.

**I. Research in the Biomedical and Behavioral Sciences**

> **A. Research on Normal Nutritional Requirements Throughout the Life
> Cycle**
>
> The following five categories are included because of the importance
> to health promotion of establishing normal nutritional requirements
> throughout the life cycle, and the differing needs of individuals at
> various stages of the life cycle.
>
> Research activities relevant to normal nutrition at specific stages of
> the human life cycle should be assigned to classifications 1‑5.

**1. Maternal Nutrition**

> **2. Infant and Child Nutrition (0‑12 years)**

**(includes the low birth weight infant)**

**3. Adolescent Nutrition (13‑18 years)**

**4. Adult Nutrition (19‑65 years)**

**5. Nutrition of the Elderly (65+ years)**

> **B. Diseases and Conditions**
>
> Research on the role of nutrition in the prevention, amelioration, and
> treatment of diseases and conditions should be assigned to categories
> 6‑16. Because of the importance of appropriate nutritional support of
> the patient in the treatment of disease, the category of \"parenteral,
> enteral and elemental nutrition\" has been added in this subsection as
> code 35.
