Abstract: The mission of the Division of Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (DHNES) is to produce descriptive statistics that measure the health and nutrition status of the general population. The continuous operation of DHNES programs presents unique challenges in testing new survey content and data collection activities, such as outreach or participant screening etc. This generic request covers developmental projects to help evaluate and enhance DHNES existing and proposed data collection activities to increase research capacity and improve data quality, as well as developmental projects for similar NCHS data collections.
