Nutrition research priorities.

Disease	Methodology considerations
Cardiovascular Disease	Translational studies particularly in children Counter disinformation campaigns and studies
Cancer Prevention and Survival	Prevention and survival studies (e.g., diet + exercise)
Diabetes: Type 1 and 2	Type 1: Prevention: dairy intake and relationship to type 1 DM onset Type 2: Intervention trials with plant-based diets Translation, complication prevention and reversal: ocular, neurological, and renal
Autoimmune diseases   • Rheumatoid Arthritis   • Type 1 diabetes   • Psoriasis   • Multiple sclerosis   • Thyroid conditions   • Asthma   • Sjogren's disease	Large clinical trials powered with strong interventions to build on abundant case histories of remission or reversal
Hormonal Diseases Thyroid disease: iodine, autoimmune disease Hashimototo's and Graves disease antibodies	Large clinical trials to build on case studies
Brain health and neurological diseases   • Mood disorders   • Depression   • Attention-deficit disorder	Large clinical trials to build on case studies and smaller studies
Renal	Clinical trials for stopping progression and reversing chronic renal failure
Diet quality and cultural aspects of plant-forward nutrition	More comparisons of clinical effects and outcomes of animal vs. plant-derived diets and analysis of micronutrient composition
