In addition to reviewing the literature, holding invitational workshops, and corresponding with experts, FNB members are considering new ways to obtain comments on the conceptual development of the RDAs and to evaluate the adequacy of the literature. Public meetings structured around the findings of the committee with respect to different controversial nutrients, symposia held in conjunction with professional society meetings, and research review monographs published for public comment will be planned to increase the involvement of the nutrition community.
