The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) brings together four of the nation’s leading research funders – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) – to address the problem of childhood obesity in America. The mission of the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) is to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and application of childhood obesity research and to halt—and reverse—the current childhood obesity trend through enhanced coordination and collaboration. NCCOR focuses on efforts that have the potential to benefit children, teens, their families, and the communities in which they live. A special emphasis is put on the populations and communities in which obesity rates are highest and rising the fastest. NCCOR accelerates progress to reduce childhood obesity in the United States by maximizing outcomes from research, building the capacity for research and surveillance, creating and supporting the mechanisms and infrastructure needed for research translation and dissemination, and supporting evaluations.

This activity is currently in the beginning stages of development. The registry of studies will be a database housed within the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) website. The registry of studies will begin with descriptions of 4 or 5 key large outcome studies and/or evaluations targeting childhood obesity. The website will house the following minimum content:
• Study name
• Dates of study
• Funding organizations
• Contact individual
• Populations studied (with sample sizes if possible)
• Geographic locations (state and city if possible)
• Major study questions and aims
• Measures
• Design
• Analytic protocol
• Intervention description
• Brief study description
Researchers will be able to search the database by the categories listed above. The registry will start with 4 to 5 of the largest studies being conducted by the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) partners (i.e., NIH, CDC, RWJF, USDA) and more studies will be added as resource become available. One of the studies to be featured in the Registry of studies will be the NHLBI-led Healthy Communities Study.

The five Specific Aims of the National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP) are to: 1) establish a monitoring program for Key Foods and critical nutrients. Key Foods are frequently consumed foods and ingredients, which contributed, collectively, more than 75% of the intake of any specific nutrient for the U.S. population; 2) conduct comprehensive analyses of selected Key Foods; 3) develop databases for high priority foods consumed by U.S. ethnic subpopulations; 4) develop databases for new bioactive components; and 5) develop a validated database for ingredients in dietary supplements.
