ADMINISTRATION
Since 2012, I have served as the Endowed Director of the Moore Family Center for Whole Grain Foods,
Nutrition and Preventive Health (MFC). The center has mission to excel in research, education andoutreach around nutrition and healthy eating. The MFC fosters collaborations among researchers byproviding mechanisms for researchers & students to learn and train in food and nutrition research in a
multi-disciplinary environment and provide research services in dietary assessment and human dietarystudies. In Oct 2013, the MFC name Renee Carr as the Endowed MFC outreach coordinator andbegan the MFC Outreach Center in Multnomah County. Jenny Rudolph has been named the MFC
outreach coordinator in 2018. As part of this endeavor, the MFC has initiated whole grain community
based projects in all 12 regions of OR. Each project will reach every region of the state to help
communities be healthier through with healthy diets in various ways. Each project has research &evaluation component helping bridge research with outreach efforts across the state. The MFC also
hosted the annual Food, Nutrition & Health update each year in Feb that hosted about 200 researchersand health professionals. In 2015, the Moore Family Center hosted the international Whole Grain
Summit in Portland, OR. Faculty members in the MFC have obtained extramural funding from NIH,
USDA and private foundations, actively publish in peer-reviewed journals and engage both graduate
and undergraduate students in research and experiential learning. Research includes studies aroundperceptions of whole grains and health, identification of barriers to healthy eating, acceptabilityof whole grain products and studies examining the effect of whole grains on obesity-induced
inflammation. The MFC has also developed and continued “Healthy Cooking and Meals 101” outreachprograms for college students that will be used for future research around healthy food perceptions andbehavior in college-aged adults. Our programs have fostered experiential learning opportunities at theundergraduate and graduate level. Together, research projects in the MFC will have impact on thehealth and dietary recommendations for the population.
•

Education and Outreach: The MFC continues to work with University Housing and Dining service andOSU community at large to provide healthier food options and educate around healthy eating. The MFC
also began Community Nutrition Monthly services and MFC Blogs by OSU dietetic interns and continues
our cooking classes and completed a milling bike project with mechanical engineering students.
Importantly, we utilize nutrition students and dietetic interns for all of these projects to offer experiential
learning experiences. We also have strong partners in OSU Extension to communicate and reach thecommunities across Oregon. We also continue to partner with the OSU Kidspirit program on campus andprovide kitchen space, instructor support and training and curriculum for the summer youth cooking
camps (Chefs in Motion – grades 3-5 and Future Iron Chefs- grades 5-8). Evaluation and scholarly
outputs are in an important goal for all of our outreach activities. In 2014, we launched the Healthy
Community Outreach projects, partnering with OSU Extension and 4H programs to implement evidencebased outreach programs centered around healthy eating in every region of the state. The second phaseof grants were announced in 2019. We also launched a Healthy Community Outreach Fellows programin 2019. Experiential learning with food and nutrition at OSU. Healthy Cooking and Meals 101 classes
continue to be a huge success. We are also developing a wellness challenge for first-year residential
college student to be launched in winter 2019. We recruit graduate MPH students to aid with program
development and evaluation. Our classes all have long waiting lists and continue to be well-received. We
have hired Dr. Jennifer Jackson in 2017 to lead initiatives to incorporate aspects of these classes toexperiential learning experiences for credit for our nutrition majors and the OSU community. She hasdeveloped a credit-based experiential cooking class offered since Winter 2019. New courses around thefood environment are also being developed. Our goal is to innovate a new series of classes centeredaround food, nutrition and community service-based learning that all students at OSU can take for credit.
The MFC also hosts the annual Oregon Nutrition Update conference each year as a continuing education
opportunity.
