## Abstract

Project Summary - Nutrigenetics Core
In this competing renewal, the UNC NORC proposes to develop a new core, the Nutrigenetics (NGx) Core, that
will assist our research base to identify genetic factors and interactions that affect an individual's needs and
responses to nutrients and susceptibility to obesity, and to identify high-utility targets for prevention and
treatment. During the next 5 years, this Core will be funded at a level of $55,000 per year, and it is expected
that the core will mature and develop a demonstrated user base during this period. The NGx Core provides
services including i) assistance with grant proposal submission (hypothesis development, study design, power
calculations and generation of preliminary data); ii) study implementation (collection of data and samples); iii)
laboratory services (sample processing, genetic and metabolic analyses, assay brokerage); iv) data entry and
bioinformatics services; v) data analysis & interpretation and dissemination of results. The Core benefits a wide
range of investigators such as nutrition epidemiologists, psychologists, geneticists and physicians who want to
enhance their scientific capabilities by incorporating nutrigenetics components into human studies.
