**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** IMPROVEMENTS IN DIET QUALITY CAN BE ACHIEVED BY A COMBINATION OF MORE NUTRITIOUS PRODUCTS (I.E. REFORMULATION) AND HEALTHIER CONSUMER CHOICES. ALTHOUGH PRODUCT REFORMULATIONS HAVE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF POLICY DISCUSSIONS AND HAVE OFTEN BEEN VOLUNTARILY ADOPTED BY FIRMS, THERE HAVE BEEN SCANT EFFORTS TO QUANTIFY THEM AND ANALYZE THEIR EFFECTS. WE PROPOSE TO STUDY FOOD REFORMULATION AND SEVERAL OF ITS ECONOMIC AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS IN THE U.S. A KEY COMPONENT OF THE PROPOSAL IS THE ASSEMBLY OF A LARGE DATASET DOCUMENTING PRODUCT REFORMULATIONS OVER THE LAST SEVENTEEN YEARS AND ACROSS ALL REGIONS OF THE U.S. THE ASSEMBLED DATASET WILL BE USED TO: A) QUANTIFY AND DOCUMENT THE MAJOR PRODUCT AND NUTRIENT REFORMULATIONS IN THE U.S., B) DOCUMENT AND INVESTIGATE POTENTIAL DIETARY AND NUTRITIONAL DISPARITIES ACROSS SUBPOPULATIONS, C) INVESTIGATE POTENTIAL POLICY-INDUCED CAUSES OF PRODUCT REFORMULATIONS AND OF CHANGES IN CONSUMER BEHAVIOR AND HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND D) DEVELOP A THEORETICAL OLIGOPOLY MODEL FOR MANUFACTURERS AND TEST ITS PREDICTIONS ON THE OBSERVED LEVELS OF REFORMULATION. OUR RESULTS WILL BE USEFUL FOR POLICY MAKERS IN THE ONGOING DEBATE AS TO HOW MORE EFFECTIVELY IMPROVE DIET QUALITY AND REDUCE DISPARITIES IN NUTRITIONAL INTAKE AND HEALTH. IN PARTICULAR, THE RESULTS WILL POINT TOWARDS AREAS IN WHICH REFORMULATION VIS-À-VIS IMPROVEMENTS IN CONSUMER CHOICES MAY BE A MORE EFFECTIVE POLICY TOOL (OR VICE VERSA).

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE NUTRITION AND FOOD WORKFORCE PATHWAYS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS PROJECT FOCUSES ON AFRI FARM BILL PRIORITY AREA 3 FOOD SAFETY, NUTRITION, AND HEALTH. LED BY CSUN AND LAMC FACULTY, THIS INNOVATIVE THREE-YEAR PROJECT WILL ALLOW 30 UNDERREPRESENTED LAMC STUDENTS TO COMPLETE A NEW NUTRITION AND FOOD SKILLS CERTIFICATE STARTING IN SPRING 2023. THIS NEW INDUSTRY-ACCEPTED CREDENTIAL WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO WORK IN ENTRY-LEVEL JOBS IN THE FIELD OF NUTRITION AND FOODS SO THEY CAN EARN WHILE THEY LEARN AND COMPLETE THEIR ASSOCIATE DEGREE COURSEWORK TO CONTINUE TO MORE ADVANCED CAREERS IN NUTRITION/DIETETICS, FOOD SCIENCE, OR FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT.THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO ALLOW 30 CSUN NUTRITION STUDENTS TO SERVE AS PEER MENTORS TO THE LAMC STUDENTS.THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO INCREASE DIVERSITY IN THE FIELD OF NUTRITION AND DIETETICS THROUGH WORKFORCE TRAINING. THE SUPPORTING OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: (1) INCREASE AWARENESS AMONG UNDERREPRESENTED HIGH SCHOOL AND FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO CAREERS AND EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS IN NUTRITION AND FOODS; (2) RECRUIT UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS TO TAKE AND COMPLETE THE NUTRITION AND FOOD SKILLS CERTIFICATE; AND (3) INCREASE ENROLLMENT IN AND COMPLETION OF THE ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE FOR TRANSFER (AS-T) DEGREE IN NUTRITION AND DIETETICS AMONG UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS. THE ACTIVITIES AND STRATEGIES PROPOSED TO ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: (1) OUTREACH TO HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS (2) PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING, (3) PEER MENTORSHIP, (4) FINANCIAL SUPPORTS, (5) COMPLETION OF INDUSTRY-ACCEPTED CREDENTIAL, (6) INTERNSHIP/JOB PLACEMENT WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS.ABSTRACTTHE U.S. POPULATION IS BECOMING MORE RACIALLY AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE YET THIS DIVERSITY IS NOT REFLECTED IN THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT WHEN A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER IS FROM THE SAME ETHNIC BACKGROUND AS THEIR PATIENT, THERE IS BETTER PATIENT COMPLIANCE AND IMPROVED HEALTH OUTCOMES. GIVEN THAT MINORITY GROUPS LIKE LATINOS AND AFRICAN AMERICANS EXPERIENCE A HIGHER PREVALENCE OF DIET-RELATED PROBLEMS LIKE OBESITY, DIABETES, AND HYPERTENSION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE NUTRITION AND DIETETICS WORKFORCE BETTER REFLECT ITS PATIENT BASE IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE EXISTING HEALTH DISPARITIES. THE NUTRITION AND FOOD WORKFORCE PATHWAYS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS PROJECT AIMS TO EXPAND WORKFORCE AND CAREER PATHWAYS IN NUTRITION, DIETETICS, OR FOOD SCIENCE FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS. SUPPORTING OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: (1) INCREASE AWARENESS AMONG UNDERREPRESENTED HIGH SCHOOL AND FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO CAREERS IN NUTRITION AND FOODS; (2) RECRUIT UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS TO TAKE AND COMPLETE THE NUTRITION AND FOOD SKILLS CERTIFICATE; AND (3) INCREASE ENROLLMENT IN AND COMPLETION OF THE ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE FOR TRANSFER (AS-T) DEGREE IN NUTRITION AND DIETETICS AMONG UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS. THESE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ACHIEVED BY IMPLEMENTING THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES: (1) OUTREACH TO HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNI,TY COLLEGE STUDENTS (2) PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING, (3) PEER MENTORSHIP, (4) FINANCIAL SUPPORTS, (5) IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC CERTIFICATE, AND (6) INTERNSHIP/JOB PLACEMENT WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS SO STUDENTS CAN EARN WHILE THEY LEARN. UNDERREPRESENTED HIGH SCHOOL OR FIRST-YEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS WILL BE RECRUITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROJECT AND UNIVERSITY NUTRITION STUDENTS TO SERVE AS PEER MENTORS.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** STAY-AT-HOME POLICIES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC CATALYZED THE NEED FOR, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF, MEDICAL SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES THAT COULD BE DELIVERED ONLINE. THISPIVOT CEMENTED THE FACT THAT BROADBAND ACCESS HAS BECOME A SOCIO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANT OFHEALTH. RURAL AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES CONTINUE TO HAVE LOW BROADBAND ACCESS AND WORSE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN SPITE OF THIS FACT. IN THIS PROJECT, WE DETERMINE HOW BROADBAND ACCESS CAN BE LEVERAGED TO ALLEVIATE RURAL HEALTH DISPARITIES. OUR PROJECT SCOPE WILL ADDRESS GOALS RELATED TO IMPROVING POLICY DESIGN, IMPROVING BROADBAND ACCESS, TARGETING NUTRITION SECURITY, AND ASSESSING THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, WE ESTIMATE THE CAUSAL IMPACT OF BROADBAND ACCESS ON RURAL HEALTH OUTCOMES USING A UNIQUE PANEL DATASET ASSEMBLED FROM PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA. WE WILL ALSO DETERMINE WHETHER THE KEY CONSTRAINT IN BROADBAND ACCESS RELATES TO ITS LACK OF DEMAND IN RURAL AREAS. TO DO SO, WE WILL WORK WITH EXTENSION EDUCATORS TO SURVEY RURAL NEVADANS TO ASSESS THEIR DEMAND PREFERENCES FOR BROADBAND USE. WE WILL ALSO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DELIVERING E-SERVICES AND E-PROGRAMS. WITH OUR INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF ECONOMISTS, NUTRITIONISTS, SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGISTS, AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION EXPERTS, AND SURVEY EXPERTS, WE WILL DEVELOP POLICY SUGGESTIONS ON DRIVERS OF DEMAND FOR E-SERVICES AND BROADBAND ACCESS. RESULTS FROM THIS PROJECT PROMISE TO PROVIDE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS WORKING WITH RURAL COMMUNITIES WITH INSIGHTS INTO THE KEY CONSTRAINTS OF BROADBAND USE AND ITS IMPACTS ON RURAL HEALTH.-AT-HOME POLICIES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC CATALYZED THE NEED FOR, AND THE
