**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** GENE-DIET INTERACTIONS CAN PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN HEALTH, BOTH THROUGH DIETARY MODIFICATION OF GENE EXPRESSION (NUTRIGENOMICS) AND THROUGH THE EFFECTS OF INDIVIDUAL GENETIC VARIATION OF GENES INVOLVED IN NUTRIENT METABOLISM (NUTRIGENETICS) (NGX). BECAUSE NGX RESEARCH AND APPLICATION AREAS SPAN FROM BASIC RESEARCH TO CLINICAL PRACTICE, IT CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR RESEARCHERS AND CLINICIANS TRAINED IN ONE AREA TO APPRECIATE RESULTS EMANATING FROM ANOTHER AREA. THUS, THE LACK OF AWARENESS OF IMPORTANT NGX RESEARCH IMPAIRS TRANSLATION TO CLINICAL PRACTICE, AND AN UNDERAPPRECIATION OF CLINICAL FINDINGS MASKS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS FROM BASIC RESEARCH STUDIES. THE NUTRIGENETICS, NUTRIGENOMICS, AND PRECISION NUTRITION WORKSHOP PROVIDES A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR ATTENDEES TO DISCOVER THE CUTTING EDGE OF PRECISION NUTRITION AND TO LEARN HOW TO TRANSLATE AND LEVERAGE INFORMATION SPANNING BASIC RESEARCH TO CLINICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THEIR OWN WORK.THE WORKSHOP, FIRST HELD IN 2016, HAS BEEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL AND ATTENDED BY 60-90 PERSONS WITH DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND AREAS OF EXPERTISE, RANGING FROM BIOCHEMISTRY TO FOOD SCIENCE TO BIOINFORMATICS TO CLINICAL PRACTICE. THE WORKSHOP BRINGS TOGETHER SENIOR AND JUNIOR SCIENTISTS WHO WOULD NOT NORMALLY MEET OR INTERACT. COLLECTIVELY, THE WORKSHOP IS HIGHLY TRANSLATIONAL WITH LECTURE TOPICS INCLUDING INTRODUCTIONS TO GENETICS AND NUTRITIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGY, APPLICATIONS OF NGX TO OBESITY, CANCER, CVD, AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT, NUTRITIONAL EPIGENETICS, CLINICAL RESEARCH AND (NUTRI) PHARMACOGENOMICS. AN ADDITIONAL FEATURE OF THIS WORKSHOP IS THE INCLUSION OF INTERACTIVE HANDS-ON SESSIONS WHERE ATTENDEES LEARN HOW TO ANALYZE AND INTERPRET THEIR OWN GENETIC DATA.
