The material covered in NS/CNU/AS 602 consists of two major emphasis areas: (1) properties, biological functions, and metabolism of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds (micronutrients), and (2) influence of functional interactions with these and other nutrients on health and disease. The objective of this course is to provide students with a strong knowledge base related to micronutrient metabolism in the context of select conditions and energy balance.

The purpose of this course is to introduce graduate students to useful topics in their quest to attain and retain a tenure track researcher position (or equivalent) at some point in their scientific future. These subjects are not always taught by mentors or through a traditional curriculum, but they are of utmost importance in a successful career. A breadth of issues will be presented that many principal investigators would say they wished they learned in graduate school and should give students the resources to become competitive scientific professionals.

Selected topics in nutritional sciences related to health and chronic diseases, e.g., autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer. This course will explore the pathophysiology of chronic diseases influenced by nutrition and discuss mechanisms underlying nutritional approaches for prevention and intervention.

The material covered in CNU 702 via readings and the various clinical and/or community-based rotation (s), the student will complete the Nutrition Care Process on individual(s) beginning with Nutrition Assessment (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Clinical, Dietary, and Environmental data) followed by Nutrition Diagnosis, Nutrition Intervention, Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation as applicable. Students will present these findings in 1 writing assignment (about one patient) and 1 presentation (about a different patient) per credit hour enrolled.

NS 704 students will develop skills in independent, critical evaluation of the current literature in nutritional sciences. These skills will be developed through reading, writing and class discussion of published articles from peer reviewed journals.

Half-time to full-time work on thesis. May be repeated to a maximum of six semesters.
