-Nutrition Policy Institute-The Nutrition Policy Institute (NPI) conducts and evaluates research related to the impact of nutrition and physical activity on public health. NPI prizes research that provides a strong basis for public policies that can eliminate health disparities, especially those stemming from lack of access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity. The Institute is housed within the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of California. In early 2015 the staff and research projects of the Atkins Center for Weight and Health at UC Berkeley joined NPI. This unification expands the reach and breadth of NPI’s research to support healthy communities. Nutrition Policy Institute
