| | ARS Project: Community-Based Participatory Research - Marvell, Arkansas (Marvell Niri) (407162) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | The specific objective of this cooperative research project is to establish a community participatory structure (Marvell Nutrition Intervention Research Initiative [Marvell NIRI]) that will evaluate nutritional health in the Marvell, Arkansas community, identify nutritionally responsive problems, and design, conduct, and evaluate interventions which may be sustained at the community level. |
 | | Developing capacity as necessary, the Marvell NIRI will consist of a community group working in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), and other Delta NIRI Consortium partners, to design, develop, conduct, support, and facilitate nutrition interventions related to the nutritional status of the Marvell community. |
 | | Following implementation and evaluation of these nutrition intervention strategies in the Marvell community, the Delta NIRI Consortium will identify successful intervention strategies, evaluate the impact of community participation, determine specific characteristics of the community that contributed to success, and evaluate the feasibility of adapting those successful intervention strategies to other communities with similar needs. |
