The Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition is the only independent non-profit research center of its kind with expertise in measurement and evaluation of nutrition-related programs. The Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition has selected four food banks as recipients of Rooted in Evidence, a grant and evaluation program designed to help extend programming and expand resources for food-insecure families.
The food banks will each receive $25,000, in addition to in-kind evaluation support. USDA selects Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition & Fair Food Network as leads for new national evaluation and technical assistance center for SNAP incentive and fruit and vegetable prescription programs. We are looking to fill research scientist, project manager and research associate positions.

The public health programs we evaluate focus on bringing good nutrition into more lives - by helping to promote healthy eating active living, strengthen food security, build organizational advocacy capacity and incorporate health equity into programming and strategies. This includes the promotion and assessment of healthy food access in schools, early care and education centers, neighborhoods and communities and other environments.
At the Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition, we have a Midwest based, fully-staffed office of researchers collaborating with partners across the U.S. who implement or manage programs to improve health. Our partners work with integrity and compassion to bring about positive change in policies and environments that can facilitate healthier individuals.
We have a history of working collaboratively with other organizations to help evaluate programs nationally, regionally and locally. These project snapshots show the breadth of our work.
