The federal Project Grant award of $1,161,914.00 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) aims to reduce nutrition insecurity and malnutrition among adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award, which began on September 1, 2024, include:

Conducting physical mapping of the food environments of 10 schools in Nairobi, Kenya, and using participatory systems science methods to understand how adolescents make food choices. Additionally, the project will quantify the influence of nutrition insecurity on dietary patterns, malnutrition, and food preferences through surveys, dietary recalls, and physical measurements with 700 adolescents. This data will then be used to co-design and prioritize food systems interventions to improve adolescents' nutrition security and malnutrition outcomes. The project involves collaborative efforts with several sub-awardees, including the University of Aberdeen, Cornell University, the African Population and Health Research Centre, and the Kula Vyema Centre of Food Economics.
