NuSI is a San Diego-based nonprofit that funds and guides experimental research in nutrition. Its goal is to reduce the societal and economic burden of obesity and related diseases by elevating the methodological standards of nutrition science through rigorous, controlled studies that shed light on the diet-disease relationship. The organization was founded in 2012 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit by Gary Taubes and Peter Attia. Operating in the research services arena, NuSI seeks to translate its findings into practical strategies, nutritional guidance, and policies addressing obesity-related health concerns. With a small staff, the organization collaborates to support and advance nutrition research efforts from its San Diego base.
