## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
 In 2018 the Pennington/Louisiana NORC (P30 DK072476-16) established a repository of human subjects'
data and biospecimens of nutrition and obesity research. The repository includes data and biospecimens from
213 studies and 13,787 unique participants (68% women and 38% with obesity) funded by the National
Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, United States Department of Agriculture, American Heart
Association, American Diabetes Association and other government and non-profit organizations. In September
2020, an online portal was opened to allow people to independently search the cadre of available data. As we
transition to increase usage, it is imperative that we align with the FAIR and TRUST principles and to ensure
we can appropriately track usage, utility, and impact. We have developed a comprehensive but conservative
one-year project in response to NOT-OD-21-089, to achieve these goals. The overarching objective of this
administrative supplement is to improve upon the “FAIR”-ness and “TRUST”-worthiness of the
Pennington/Louisiana NORC Biorepository and its online portal. In aim 1, we will improve “FAIR”-ness by
adding existing data and increasing metadata and establishing metrics for tracking and usage. In aim 2, we will
improve “TRUST”-worthiness by promoting and demonstrating the methods used for data collection. Finally,
aim 3, will explore the possibility for certification. This unique repository provides unique data on nutrition and
obesity which seeks to benefit researchers across the country for years to come.
