NIH hopes to hear from a broad range of individuals and organizations in the health and nutrition fields, including researchers in academia, health care providers, patient advocacy organizations, other federal agencies, those involved in culinary medicine and nutrition research, and the public. All feedback received will help inform research planning efforts and strategies for implementing Food Is Medicine activities at NIH and, potentially, other federal agencies. All responses must be submitted using the RFI submission websiteThis link is external to health.gov. no later than June 30, 2023, at 11:59pm ET.
