An ad hoc panel will review the Consumer Data and Nutrition Research (CDNR) program for the Economic Research Service (ERS) in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The CDNR (originally the Consumer Data and Information Program) includes several components, such as supplements to existing federal surveys, use of relevant administrative and commercial data, linkages of databases, and the Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS). The expert panel will critically assess the value of each of the various ERS investments in food and nutrition data and provide directions for the next 10 years of the CDNR.
