Goal action plan

Human Nutrition Research Center (HNRC) and Metabolic Disorder, Cardiovascular and Aging Research Center (MVA) of the IMERI FMUI support the importance of evidence-based nutrition education to accelerate the effort on tackling malnutrition in communities. Digital platform, including mobile apps, will be utilized to create accessible and interactive educational tools. We believe that research and education should be interconnected, thus integrating the educational tools to our research projects will also be a priority.

To ensure the quality of the implementation of educational modules, we will hold certified and uncertified trainings, webinars, and workshops, both in academic and community settings. Nutrition-related topics of the trainings, webinars, and workshops will include maternal and child nutrition, adolescents' nutrition, and sustainable food system, metabolism and aging, healthy gut, Covid-19 and immunity, gut-lung-brain-axis, and diet quality to prevent malnutrition and non-communicable diseases. Collaboration with local and national governments, UN Agencies and NGOs, international institutions, professional organization, scientific society, community leaders and organization, and multidisciplinary experts are expected to create high-quality and comprehensive trainings. As we acknowledge the benefit from nutrition research dissemination in promoting evidence-based nutrition education among academic society, annual international conferences will also be regularly conducted. In these events, discussion among pentha-helix collaboration: academia, local and national governments, public, philanthropies and private sectors are expected to integrate the findings of the research to nutrition policy.

Action plans will include proposal/Term of Reference and timeline development, events preparation, program implementation involving multidisciplinary experts, policy makers, and all collaborators also monthly and annual meetings at the IMERI FMUI to monitor and evaluate the program. Training, workshop and webinar will be held at least twice a year in 2022 until 2025 and will increase the number of participants each year consecutively starting from 200 participants. For the conference will be once a year with the number participants at least 800 from 2022 to 2025.
