Phase I of the BOND project includes the evaluation of biomarkers for 6 nutrients: iodine, iron, zinc, folate, vitamin A, and vitamin B-12. To accomplish this objective, expert panels are recruited to evaluate the literature and to draft comprehensive reports on the current state of the art with regard to specific nutrient biology and available biomarkers for assessing nutrients in body tissues at the individual and population level. Specifically, the BOND program provides state-of-the-art information and service with regard to selection, use, and interpretation of biomarkers of nutrient exposure, status, function, and effect. The Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development (BOND) project is designed to provide evidence-based advice to anyone with an interest in the role of nutrition in health.

The BOND program received its core funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, PepsiCo, the Division of Nutrition Research Coordination (DNRC, NIH), the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS, NIH), and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD, NIH). Expert panels on each nutrient were constituted and charged with developing comprehensive reviews for publication in the BOND series. The initial 6 nutrients selected, iodine, vitamin A, iron, zinc, folate, and vitamin B-12, were chosen for their high public health importance. The Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development (BOND) project was developed by the nutrition program staff of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the NIH within the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). 1Published in a supplement to The Journal of Nutrition.
