About CNP
- Principal Investigator: Charlotte Neumann, University of California, Los Angeles
The GL-CRSP Child Nutrition Project (CNP) was established in 1997 and was built on a decade of research conducted by the Nutrition CRSP (USAID) in the 1980s. CNP research addresses food-based approaches to micronutrient deficiencies, particularly of children, with respect to both the quantity and quality of food intake. The Child Nutrition Project was centered on a controlled intervention feeding trial of school children in Embu, Kenya. The Child Survival Study of toddlers was supported by funds from USAID as a follow-up to the study of school children. The project is directed by Dr. Charlotte Neumann, Dr. Suzanne Murphy, and Dr. Nimrod Bwibo as Principal Investigators and Dr. Marian Sigman, Dr. Lindsay Allen, and Dr. Shannon Whaley as Co-Investigators. Jonathan H. Siekmann, Ph.D., Ana Zubieta, Ph.D. former doctoral students and Erin Ried, a doctoral candidate, made significant contributions to the nutrition biochemical analysis. Email contact for Dr. C. Neumann is: cneumann@mednet.ucla.edu.
