Healthy Eating Index (HEI)

The HEI is a scoring metric that can be used to determine overall diet quality, as well as the quality of several dietary components. HEI–2020 is the most recent version of the index for the American population age 2 years and older, and new in 2023 is the HEI-Toddlers-2020, which was created to align with new dietary recommendations for young children in the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Environmental Justice Research Gaps, Opportunities, and Capacity Building

Developing Consent Language for Research Using Digital Health Technologies

NIH is requesting information on the utility and useability of sample language and accompanying considerations developed for use in informed consent documents for digital health technologies utilized in research. Responses are requested by December 12, 2023.

Environmental Justice Research Gaps, Opportunities, and Capacity Building

NIH's Environmental Justice Working Group invites feedback on the approaches NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices can take to support research and capacity building efforts to advance environmental justice in the U.S. and globally. Responses will enable the Working Group to be responsive to Executive Order 14096 on Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All, and to synergize NIH efforts with other Federal Agencies in a whole-of-government approach to advance environmental justice. Responses are requested by December 15, 2023.
