The DRI
Subcommittee, in collaboration with its
Canadian counterpart, has been
responsible for prioritizing nutrients for
federally-funded DRI reviews that
establish nutrient reference values.
Given the completion in 2011 of the
most recent DRI review which was
conducted by the Institute of Medicine
at the National Academy of Sciences,
the DRI Subcommittee is now
considering future reviews. The
increasingly broad range of uses of the
DRIs warrants input to the DRI
Subcommittee concerning nutrients of
interest for such reviews. Input from all
interested parties is welcome and may
come from individuals and
organizations external to the federal
government as well as from federal
agencies.
The opportunity to provide
information is limited at this time to
new reviews for nutrients and food
components that have previously been
considered by Institute of Medicine DRI
committees. The nomination is to
include a cover letter and a literature
search. The requirements of the
nomination package and the nomination
procedures are specified in the Web site
identified above in the ADDRESSES
section, and interested persons should
access the Web site to obtain specific
instructions for the nomination. The
nomination will be regarded as
information for the DRI Subcommittee
and is intended to assist only in
informing planning activities; the
submission of a nomination does not
guarantee the initiation of a DRI review.
Further, the opportunity to provide
information should not be construed as
a funding opportunity or grant program.
Please note that proprietary or
confidential information cannot be
considered and should not be
submitted.

Background and Brief Description
Obesity currently affects more than
one-third of adults and approximately
17 percent of children in the United
States. Obese children and teens are
likely to remain so into adulthood, and
are at risk for developing severe health
conditions such as heart disease, type 2
diabetes, stroke, and certain cancers. As
one of the most dire and fastest growing
health-related problems, obesity
prevention has become a public health
priority.
Physical activity and dietary
behaviors are known to impact obesity.
