National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of 1990
— P.L. 101-445 was enacted to establish a comprehensive, coordinated program for
nutrition monitoring and related research to
improve the assessment of the health and nutrition of the U.S. population. The
Act required: a program to achieve coordination of federal nutrition monitoring
efforts within 10 years and assist states and local governments in participating
in a nutrition monitoring network; an interagency board to develop and implement
the program; and, an advisory council to provide scientific and technical advice
and evaluate program effectiveness. The Act also required that dietary
guidelines be issued every five years, and that any dietary guidance issued by
the federal government for the general public be reviewed by the Secretaries of
both Agriculture, and Health and Human Services.
