Workshop presenters, with multi-sector perspectives, will also discuss emerging research methodologies and technologies for assessing dietary patterns and connections to diet-related chronic disease at different life stages, including suggestions for improving data gaps and addressing barriers to innovation.
The planning committee will define the specific topics to be addressed, develop the workshop agenda, and select and invite speakers and discussants. A proceedings of a workshop--in brief and full proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
