Obesity develops and changes over a whole lifetime, from early growth through adulthood. To answer questions about its causes, prevention, treatment and long-term effects, researchers need large real-world data sets that follow people over time.

What they work on
- Facilitate access to real-world data, including electronic health records, insurance claims and pharmacy claims at health-system, state and national levels, to study nutrition and obesity outcomes across the life course.
- Provide expert consultation and specialized health information technology services to nutrition and obesity investigators across all stages of translational research.
- Offer direct access to data sets and biospecimens from local and international cohorts focused on nutrition, obesity, growth and development over the life course.
More about the research
They also need the technical skills to use those data.
Why it matters
Better access to health records, insurance claims and long-term cohort data could help researchers learn what causes obesity and how to prevent and treat it at different ages. Health-IT-based interventions built inside real healthcare systems could reach patients at scale, informing care for people with overweight and obesity from childhood through adulthood.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
