Abstract
Nutrition research and education are the domains of many societies with somewhat divergent but often largely overlapping interests. Given the lack of consensus regarding appropriate nutrition therapy and the cacophony of educational efforts, cooperative endeavors seem prudent. The development of research consortia, data registries, tissue repositories, and a statistical core are all potentially beneficial. Such resources would result in clinical trials and quality improvement initiatives. Coordinated professional and public education, matched policy initiatives, and a unified process for the development of clinical guidelines are also desirable. The creation of durable alliances between nutrition societies and clinical organizations will require considerable effort and innovation.
