Most data will be collected electronically through the NICHD web-based data collection system called the Clinical Trials Database (CTDB, https://ctdb.nichd.nih.gov/ctdb/). The clinical site will collect dietary intake data using the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) (http://www.ncc.umn.edu/products/).
