The generation of original analytical data for foods at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is conducted through the National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP) in collaboration with multiple groups including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies. NFNAP includes statistically based sampling plans for Key Foods and analysis of foods by qualified laboratories. The five Specific Aims of the NFNAP are to: (1) establish a monitoring program for Key Foods and critical nutrients. Key Foods are frequently consumed foods and ingredients, which collectively contributed more than 75 percent of the intake of any specific nutrient for the US population; (2) conduct comprehensive analyses of selected Key Foods; (3) develop databases for high priority foods consumed by US ethnic subpopulations; (4) develop databases for new bioactive components; and (5) develop a validated database for ingredients in dietary supplements. Analytical data generated through the NFNAP are compiled and released in annual updates of the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR). They are also used to calculate estimates for related foods not analyzed, to assess nutrient variability, and to evaluate methods for estimating the nutrient content of multi-ingredient foods. These values will be used by the Food Surveys Research Group (FSRG), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to develop the Food and Nutrient Dataset for Dietary Surveys used in the “What We Eat in America” (WWEIA) component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) - started in 1957 - is a continuous, nationwide in-person survey of approximately 27,000 sample adult and 9,000 sample child interviews annually, in the civilian non-institutionalized population. The NHIS oversamples African-American and Hispanic respondents. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) periodically sponsors a Cancer Control Supplement (CCS) which is administered to a randomly selected sample of 39,000 adults. The CCS focuses on issues pertaining to knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cancer-related health behaviors, screening, and risk assessment.
