Our aim is to improve nutrition-related health outcomes. our work how we work Our work comprises four overlapping verticals in nutrition and several cross-cutting horizontals. Projects Organogram Learn more about us We are an Independent Global Institute anchored in Cambridge (UK) and working across 10 regional networks involving members from over 80 countries. From 2008-2018, we were hosted by the Cambridge Institute of Public Health (supported by the NIHR School of Public Health 2008-10) and the Medical Research Council Elsie Widdowson Laboratory (supported by MRC Human Nutrition Research 2010-18) in partnership with the British Dietetic Association . With support from Innovate UK, we were incorporated as a Cambridge-based, research-intensive, independent non-profit ahead of our 10th Anniversary. We aim to improve food, nutrition, health, and sustainability outcomes by: promoting nutrition-sensitive microenterprises aimed at social equity; strengthening nutrition research at multiple levels; training professionals in clinical and public health nutrition, and influencing policymakers; providing nutrition and health-related advisory services to high-impact organisations. Our strategic plans have been aligned with the United Nations Decade of Action 2016-2025, following which we have successfully registered our strategic commitments for 2026-2030 with the Global Nutrition Report, in line with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. As of 2026, we deliver our work through the following interrelated sections, as outlined below: SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, Global operations & impact Since 2017, we have supported the development of innovative social enterprise ventures intended to contribute to nutritional equity, population health, and community resilience, such as the multi-award-winning Mobile Teaching Kitchen International Initiative (MTKi) , which operates across multiple jurisdictions. Our work in this area has been supported extensively by UKRI Global and Grand Challenges awards operated through consortia led by the University of Cambridge. Since 2019, our Institute has operated as a non-profit social enterprise hosted at St John’s Innovation Centre , Cambridge, supported by Innovate UK, and our global operations bring together a vast array of professionals from across the six continents into a single delivery framework. Our pathways to impact include international policy dialogue, the development of global youth leaders and the recognition of excellence in communities of practice through annual awards. Learn More Research & innovation Since 2018, our research and innovation have supported the strategic development of our official journal, BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health (BMJ NPH) , which we co-founded and co-own with the BMJ Publishing Group, as well as supporting the development of other journals with which we have project partnerships, such as CABI Food and Nutrition Science Cases . Whilst a proportion of our research is published in journals we co-curate, our research has generated several hundred peer-reviewed papers/outputs over the years, published in a variety of journals and all indexed online. We also published quarterly in the Complete Nutrition (CN) Magazine, where research-led evidence can be communicated to over 20K nutrition practitioners who subscribe to CN. Since 2019, our Chief Scientist has been cross-appointed as a Full Research Professor in Global Nutrition, Health, and Disease (GNHD) within the framework of Ulster University , which is consistently ranked ‘Top in the UK for Food and Nutrition Science’. Our primary research and publications are fully aligned with the GNHD programme, and we regularly contribute outputs to the UK Research Excellence Framework. We run several hubs linked with GNHD: Data Science and Evidence Synthesis (including Dietary Assessment ); Human Interventions (including Nutrition and Vascular Function ); Educational and Development Studies ; and Doctoral Research Projects . Each hub has several interrelated active projects across themes, including cardiometabolic, cognitive, malnutrition risk, nutrition, and non-communicable disease prevention. In 2025, in the margins of COP30, the CREATE Centre for Population Health, Resilience and Sustainability was established within our research and innovation framework to tackle global challenges, with research looking at whole-systems approaches beyond food, nutrition and health. Learn More Since 2018, we have spearheaded the International Academy of Nutrition Educators (IANE) as a professional membership platform for the global community of interdisciplinary professionals involved in nutrition education and innovation. IANE provides high-quality, evidence-based resources, including accredited CPD/CME courses and webinars, as well as a career development framework linked with different levels of membership and associated postnominals. IANE also hosts a series of Special Interest Groups for members, and each is linked to a Special Collection. A flagship resource of IANE is the iKANN Nutrition Research Registry , which enables knowledge exchange on upcoming studies that inform the evidence base across food, nutrition, and health. IANE is complemented by a Virtual Learning Environment where we develop and host bespoke courses targeting different groups of professional learners. Additionally, we draw on educational content from a series of textbooks in the field, which we have edited/authored/co-authored, including Essentials of Nutrition in Medicine and Healthcare , as well as the nutrition content in Essential Lifestyle Medicine. For a decade, we have been running flagship educational offerings such as our internationally renowned Cambridge Summer School and Foundation Certificate in Applied Human Nutrition , accredited by professional bodies such as the Royal Society of Biology and the Royal College of Physicians , and endorsed by the University of Parma . We are also in year 12 of our annual International Summit on Food, Nutrition and Health , bringing together key opinion leaders from across six continents each year and determining next steps in applying scientific knowledge to society through education and training, as well as advocacy and policy. Each year, the Summit Poster Competition receives scientific abstracts, which are subsequently published along with the Summit Proceedings in our flagship journal, BMJ NPH. Both our Summer School and Summit are fully hybrid, enabling in-person or online participation from anywhere in the world. We advise and supervise several Doctoral Researchers and PhD candidates registered with academic partner institutions, including Ulster University and King's College London in the UK, as well as several universities internationally. To enable collective peer review and knowledge exchange, we regularly convene an active Graduate Studies Forum attended by members of our Virtual Core, including senior academic colleagues and early- to mid-career researchers from a variety of institutions worldwide. The Forum serves as a focal point for our global research capacity-building efforts in Food, Nutrition, and Health.

NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an award-winning interdisciplinary think-tank, building upon over a decade of nutrition education, research and innovation. NNEdPro & Jampolis Family Nutrition and Education Research Fund The NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an independent and international think tank that believes everyone has the right to good nutrition. We develop adaptable and scalable educational models for strengthening nutrition capacity in food and health systems. Our education programme trains frontline healthcare professionals around the globe. We also provide direct support to vulnerable families and communities on the ground. We convene regional networks across six continents and collaborate with partners such as the World Health Organization and the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization. As a collective, we influence whole food and health systems across the globe: from production to consumption and beyond into healthcare. We deliver training to food and health systems actors, including healthcare professionals worldwide, and all of our work is underpinned by ground-breaking academic and action research. One of our key Initiatives, the Mobile Teaching Kitchen, empowers communities by sharing knowledge and skills through the medium of nutrition education. It aims to enhance health and wellbeing for women, children and families across communities, especially working within marginalised communities. After the success of the initiative in India and Mexico, NNEdPro and the MTK initiative received the 2022 Program Impact Award from the Society of Nutrition Education and Behavior in the USA and with generous support from the Jampolis Family we will be extending our work to address food and nutrition insecurity in the United States, in line with the 2022 White House initiative. We hope to build on the NNEdPro and Jampolis Family Nutrition Education and Research Fund by raising further and essential donor support to address malnutrition in all of its forms worldwide via our 10 regional networks and in line with the findings of multilateral organisations on the global needs assessment map on food and nutrition security.

History of nnedpro In 2003, the Council of Europe published over 100 recommendations to improve nutritional care across European countries and the UK formed an Alliance led by the BDA over 2005-2007 to examine this issue. During this time the BMA passed a priority motion to strengthen nutrition related healthcare. Over two years, representatives from several professional organisations worked through the Alliance resulting in three outputs: a BBC documentary entitled ‘Hungry in Hospital’ around the patient journey, a consensus statement ‘The 10 Key Characteristics of Good Nutritional Care ’, principles of which were subsequently enshrined in regulatory standards, and the ‘Department of Health 2007 Nutrition Action Plan ’ containing a mandate for the ‘Need for Nutrition Education Project’. NNEdPro was formed in 2008 with fellowship funding awarded by the National Institute of Health Research to two founding members in Cambridge, and an educational award from Abbott Nutrition to the BDA. Since then, NNEdPro has evolved from a project, through a multifaceted programme to a Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health. Follow our story below for more information on our journey: The Early Years 2005-2007 Phase 1 Launched 2008-2010 Phase 2 Launched 2010-2013 Council of Europe Alliance UK on Hospital Food and Nutritional Care British Dietetic Association and Hospital Caterers Association partnership Partnership with British Medical Association Project incorporated within DH Nutrition Action Plan (2007) Founder members move to Cambridge University with NIHR funding and establish NNEdPro as an educational and research innovation project.

< Our Work page Data Science & Evidence Synthesis Hub About the Hub The Data Science & Evidence Synthesis Hub brings together expertise in data science, evidence synthesis, epidemiology, and translational nutrition to generate actionable insights for research, policy, and practice. We work across diverse evidence sources and datasets, including cohort studies, biobanks, electronic health records, and structured literature reviews, to understand how nutrition, lifestyle, and related determinants influence health across the life course. Our work spans methodological innovation, applied analytics, capacity building, and strategic collaboration across academic, public, private, and civil society settings. Within this broad remit, we focus on integrated health outcomes, including cardiometabolic disease, cognitive function, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). These conditions often intersect, influenced by complex interactions among diet, lifestyle, medication use, and metabolic health. By synthesising research and real-world evidence, the Hub aims to unravel these relationships, supporting the development of interventions and policies that promote holistic health across populations. Cardiovascular disease prevention, cognitive resilience, and MASLD management are explored through case studies and applied analytics, illustrating the broader potential of evidence-informed strategies to improve population health. Data Sources The Hub has access to multiple high-quality UK datasets, providing rich opportunities for research and evidence synthesis across nutrition, cardiometabolic health, cognition, and MASLD: National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS): Detailed dietary intake, nutrient status, and health markers across age groups, enabling analysis of diet–health relationships. National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD): Longitudinal birth cohort data including lifestyle, clinical, and cognitive measures, ideal for life-course analyses. NHS Health Records (Modality): Real-world clinical data capturing diagnoses, treatments, laboratory results, and outcomes. UK Biobank: Extensive biomedical data, including genetics, biomarkers, imaging, and lifestyle information from half a million participants, facilitating advanced population health research. Projects Nutrition and Cognition Studies Using data from the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD), the UK’s longest-running birth cohort, the project examined over seven decades of dietary, lifestyle, biomarker, and cognitive data. The primary focus was to identify early-life and mid-life nutritional and behavioural determinants of cognitive decline in older adults, providing insight into modifiable factors that could help preserve cognitive function and reduce the burden of dementia. Objectives: Track cognitive change longitudinally using standardised cognitive assessments (ACE-III) to understand trajectories of decline. Investigate the relative influence of demographic, genetic (APOE ε4), nutritional, vascular, and inflammatory factors on overall cognitive decline and domain-specific changes such as memory, language, and visuospatial abilities. Identify pathways linking nutrition, metabolism, and cognition to inform targeted interventions and public health strategies. Enhance predictive models of cognitive decline and generate evidence for policy, clinical decision-making, and early intervention approaches. MASLD and Polypharmacy Systematic Review The MASLD and polypharmacy project focused on understanding the prevalence and clinical consequences of polypharmacy in individuals living with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). MASLD is increasingly prevalent and often accompanied by multiple comorbidities, making medication management complex and potentially risky. This systematic review synthesised evidence from published and grey literature to quantify polypharmacy prevalence, identify commonly prescribed medications, and explore associated adverse outcomes and impacts on quality of life. Objectives: Determine the prevalence of polypharmacy in adults with MASLD across available studies. Examine the associations between polypharmacy and adverse clinical outcomes. Evaluate impacts on patient-reported quality of life, including physical and mental health domains. Identify opportunities for interventions such as deprescribing and medication optimisation to mitigate risk and improve patient care. CVD Risk Identification and Prevention This project aimed to harness the power of data sharing and research partnerships to support more timely and effective CVD risk identification and prevention. Aligned with NNEdPro's mission to deliver education and empower professionals and policymakers, we also aim to further develop data literacy and capacity for action among relevant stakeholders in the public and private health systems. Objectives: Use traditional regression models as well as innovative tools from causal inference to interrogate research and clinical datasets to disentangle the relative importance of behavioural and clinical risk factors and markers for CVD risk and total mortality, and inform innovations in public and private health policies. Provide bespoke training and collaboration opportunities to strengthen data and research literacy and capacity amongst health professionals and decision makers to support surveillance, service innovation and research. Malnutrition and Weight Management As part of the multi-institutional Obesity Blueprint project led by Nesta, the Hub contributed to a series of evidence reviews designed to inform national policy on obesity prevention and management. These reviews synthesise findings across informational, behavioural, environmental, policy, pharmaceutical, and surgical interventions. The work addressed four priority areas: Physical Activity Interventions Environmental & Policy Interventions Pharmaceutical interventions Surgical interventions The project uses systematic review methods, critical appraisal, and statistical modelling to compare impact, reach, and cost-effectiveness across intervention types. This work provides policymakers and civil servants with a consolidated, actionable evidence base to guide strategic responses to rising obesity rates.

< Regional Networks page SCOTLAND OFFICE UK & Ireland Regional Network Our history and activities in Scotland Prior to the establishment of NNEdPro in Cambridge (2008), our founders worked extensively across the clinical and public health nutrition landscape in Scotland for several years, particularly in Medical Nutrition Education. A decade and half later, marking the 15th Anniversary of the NNEdPro Global Institute in 2023, a strategy office was established in Dundee, Scotland, to provide a base to establish Scottish operations, including strategic adaptation and development of the Mobile Teaching Kitchen International Initiative (MTK). Our activities in Scotland map to one of our Regional Networks , specifically covering UK and Ireland which currently comprises over 240 members, including over 30 professionals based in Scotland. By 2028 we intend to significantly increase the proportion of members in Scotland as well as make meaningful contributions to the goals of the Scottish Good Food Nation. Our objectives in Scotland are multiple, ranging from increasing stakeholder engagement and strategic collaboration to non-profit activities with positive as well as sustainable impacts on the community at large as well as vulnerable individuals at risk of food and nutrition insecurity. In September 2023, following an official launch event at The Rowett Institute in Aberdeen, the UK Mobile Teaching Kitchen formally started its Scottish journey in November 2023, through the first in a series of culinary nutrition education workshops in partnership with Dundee & Angus College, where participants learned about different food groups, how to read food labels, and how to make healthy swaps in the recipes and the nutrient profiles for each dish. This workshop led to the development of the first 'preceptors' group within the UK. These preceptors would work with nutrition and culinary experts from the UK MTK team to subsequently train members of the public to become potential UK MTK champions. The Scottish MTK was awarded competitive funding in early 2024 from EIT Food (co-funded by the European Union), with which we implemented a highly successful proof of concept in two Dundee and Angus communities, establishing the feasibility of culinary nutrition innovation alongside food-service within Scottish cultural contexts, providing evidence on potential for sustainability, spread and scale. This led to a follow-on funding award (2024-2026) from the IMGO Foundation with added support from the Dundee and Angus region, which resulted in local embedding and advancement of community partnerships to co-create social value. The Scottish MTK has successfully delivered excellence in culinary nutrition education and food provision to over a thousand community members in just 2 years. This includes high-impact presence at the 2024 Dundee Food Festival, the 2026 Dundee Science Festival and dozens of menu-template-based public dining workshops and catering to several high-profile events, including the 2024 Dundee & Angus College of Sanctuary Dinner, the 2025 Summit Gala Dinner in Dundee, and several other ticketed culinary education and dining experience events. Evaluation and insights data from these events show consistently positive reception across Dundee, Angus, and Fife. In early 2026, marking its second anniversary in Scotland, the MTK successfully registered its very own bespoke Tartan officially approved by the Scottish Register of Tartans. To accelerate impact potential in Scotland our flagship annual event in December 2025, the 11th International Summit on Food, Nutrition and Health , was held in Dundee and St Andrews, welcoming over 120 key opinion leaders in person and many more online from all over the world. During the Summit, we had the opportunity to exchange knowledge with professionals, students, community members, and government stakeholders from the region with diverse perspectives on gaps and opportunities across agriculture, food, nutrition, health, and sustainability across Scotland and beyond. As a satellite event, we held the first edition of the Global Youth Essay Competition in collaboration with St Leonards School. On this occasion, we welcomed 21 young students and leaders (ages 13 to 19) from several countries. Furthermore, immediately following the 11th Summit we held a special symposium at the St Andrews Medical School where we launched our new Global Nutrition Observatory for Medical Nutrition Education (GNOME) . SCOTTISH COLLABORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS Since establishing a presence in Scotland, over 2023-2026, we have developed strong relationships with key stakeholders across the regional landscape. We have signed Memoranda of Understanding around strategic partnership activities with the Rowett Institute , the James Hutton Institute , Dundee & Angus College , and the University of Dundee . Furthermore, we have signed Letters of Intent towards developing strategic collaboration with the Scottish Alliance for Food (SCAF) as well as the Angus Climate Hub . Additionally, in Dundee/Angus, we also collaborate with the Dundee International Womens Centre, Scrapantics, the Dundee Science Centre and the Arbroath District Church Centre, whereas in Fife we work closely with the University of St Andrews, St Leonards School, and St David’s Centre. Through these inter-organisational relationships, we co-design and deliver activities that support food and nutrition related community engagement, education, awareness, and capacity building across different population groups in Scotland. These alliances have been instrumental in translating our knowledge and expertise into practice for population benefit. Over 2026-2028, leading into our 20th Anniversary, we intend to expand this collaborative network further to align with our mission and values for the benefit of Scotland, its communities, and its population at large, as well as developing evidence-informed Scottish models of change that can be adapted, spread and scaled across the UK and internationally.
