    About the Colorado NORC

    ABOUT

    The Colorado NORC has been advancing the science of nutrition and obesity since its inception as a Clinical Nutrition Research Unit in 1995 (NIH/NIDDK P30 DK 48520). Over the past 25 years, our research base has grown to over 110 regular faculty members and over 50 affiliated trainees, scientists, and educators.

    MISSION

    To advance the science of nutrition and obesity by facilitating interdisciplinary, collaborative, translational research and by fostering the development of the next generation of scientists in the Rocky Mountain region.

    We pursue our mission by supporting the work of our research base with events and workshops that enhance the research and training environment and three research cores that facilitate the advancement of science of nutrition and obesity at basic, preclinical, and clinical levels.   

    CENTRAL THEME

    The prevention and treatment of obesity and its metabolic complications across the lifespan, through better nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and medical treatments.

    Contributing to that overall theme, we have researchers pursuing collaborative science in the following five areas: early life influences, women’s health, exercise and energy expenditure, regulation of metabolism, and interventions for better health and wellness. We use these five focus areas as hubs for interdisciplinary collaborative research, with basic, preclinical, clinical, and translation studies of nutrition and obesity.
