Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Yes - B
Date:
Dec 15, 2000

Comment:

This proposal is adequate, but ranks lower than the other nutrient supplementation proposals because it is not fully developed to include a complete study design with selection of study sites. Some aspects of the proposed work repeat efforts of elsewhere and thus may not be required, or may require less effort. The proposal could be improved towards development of a useful project that should commence with pilot experiments and a staircase approach.
