The Protein Committee advances science to support future dietary protein recommendations, taking into consideration intake amounts and quality - as demand is undergoing a shift in the balance of animal, plant and novel protein sources.
Why is this research valuable?
The committee is currently sponsoring research on long-term effects of protein at levels above DRIs in a long-term cohort on cardiometabolic health, inflammation, and performance/disability.
Research Focus Areas
- Anticipate potential future gaps and opportunities as the food supply shifts in terms of protein food sources and amounts.
- Advance scientific basis of protein recommendations for broad populations based on levels and quality as they relate to acute and long-term health outcomes.

International Symposium: Dietary Protein for Human Health
September 14, 2023 – September 16, 2023
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Read more about International Symposium: Dietary Protein for Human Health
Evaluating health outcomes and functional measures of dietary protein beyond isotopic measures of protein turnover.
May 18, 2023
Virtual, Event
Experts in a range of health outcomes deliberated the scientific evidence linking protein intake among the general adult population, including bone, cardiometabolic health, weight management, and mobility/frailty/functional decline. Specific functional indicator measures were identified for outcomes with high potential to use in determining protein requirements.
