Tufts University
Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy
150 Harrison Avenue
Boston, MA 02111
The Friedman School pursues cutting-edge research and education from cell to society, including in molecular nutrition, human metabolism, population studies, clinical trials, nutrition interventions and behavior change, communication, food systems and sustainability, global food insecurity, humanitarian crises, and food economics and policy.
Policy has always been at the core of our mission, but until now, there was no concerted, school-wide effort made to improve and expand our impact on policy, media, the world of nutrition, and all its related disciplines. As we look to build capacity to influence policy, create impact, and further establish ourselves as a trusted voice, we have set goals that use our current strengths to build new ones. The creation of a new Public Impact Initiative combined with our existing expertise in food policy will help make our food environment healthy for everyone.
