Location: Nutrition, Food Safety/Quality

Project Number: 0500-00117-001-005-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Aug 1, 2025
End Date: Jul 31, 2026

Objective:
The objective of this agreement is to evaluate the effects of long-term peanut butter consumption on brain health, cognitive performance, functional outcomes, and weight management in humans through a combination of randomized controlled trial (RCT) and population-based observational research.

Approach:
To achieve the objectives, the Cooperator will implement a dual-method strategy combining a randomized controlled trial with analyses of two large population-based cohorts.
