ASCEND for Better Health brings together food system research focused on food-related data and identifies research gaps in precision nutrition, particularly for underserved populations. Our vision is to collect and share data in a way that encourages the scientific community to fill these research gaps, informs nutritional and medical professionals, and empowers the public to use timely, specific nutrition information that is relevant to their lives.
