The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR)—a partnership between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture—aims to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and application of childhood obesity research.
NCCOR hopes to accelerate progress in addressing childhood obesity 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.

For more than three decades, Mathematica Policy Research has studied federal nutrition assistance programs designed to reduce hunger and promote healthy, active lifestyles among low-income individuals. We have also studied the dietary and physical activity habits of Americans to better understand how to encourage healthy choices.
