Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) is co-sponsoring a workshop entitled "Soy Protein and Isoflavones Research: Challenges in Designing and Evaluating Intervention Studies" with other NIH Institutes and Centers (
National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine,
National Cancer Institute
,
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases,
National Institute on Aging, and the
Division of Nutrition Research Coordination). The workshop will be held on July 28-29, 2009, at the
Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, Bethesda, Maryland.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide guidance for the next generation of soy protein and isoflavone human research. Specifically, the workshop objectives are to identify (1) methodological issues relative to exposures and interventions that may confound study results and interpretation and (2) scientifically sound and useful options and solutions for dealing with these issues in the design, conduct, reporting of results, and interpretation of ongoing and future studies.
