Childhood malnutrition is one of the world's most pressing health challenges, and Kathryn Dewey, distinguished professor emerita in the UC Davis Department of Nutrition, has been at the forefront of efforts to address it. Her pioneering research led to an innovative supplement to combat nutritional deficiencies and has informed and improved global health policies.

In recent decades, food banks have adopted policies and practices to make sure people not only have access to food but also healthy and nutritious food. But until now, food banks have had few ways to evaluate those initiatives.

The UC Davis All of Us Research Program has been awarded a five-year, $12.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the potential of customized diet recommendations to promote health and prevent disease, known as precision nutrition.
