Underinvestment in nutrition research for at-risk populations: An analysis of research funding awarded in Australia from 2014 to 2021.

Despite slight increases in the proportions of funding to improve dietary behaviours over the past decade, nutrition research specifically targeting at-risk groups is scarce and appears to have decreased over time. Insufficient investment in research for these groups presents a risk for widening health disparities now and into the future. As such, they must be further supported and considered in the design of future funding schemes.
