Designing More Effective Nutrition Policy Research for Impact
Many scientific committees and organizations such as the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and the World Health Organization rely on published nutrition policy research, but many publications are excluded from reviews/recommendations due to study design limitations. This Healthy Eating Research and Center for Health Inclusion Research and Practice (CHIRP) webinar will discuss how researchers can improve the design of their public health nutrition research to inform future policy recommendation
Writing Effective Op-Eds:
A Training for Researchers
Op-eds are an important communications channel for participating in timely discussions of issues of interest to the public and policy makers. Researchers can use op-eds to share their research findings and perspectives on current issues related to their work. In this webinar, participants will learn about the role and influence of op-eds as a strategic communication strategy, how the writing style and components of op-eds differ from academic pieces, selecting an outlet, and what editors look for in an op-ed.

Resources for Schools
These resources have been developed with the insights, feedback, and support of school food service directors and staff. They can be downloaded and shared with schools, parents, administrators, or others interested in learning more about school meals. Additional resources are currently being created by our team. If there are other resources that would be helpful for your school district, you can contact our team and place a request.
