Relevance

Use this box to specify if you want to retrieve research projects that are directly related or indirectly related to dietary supplements. For example, a clinical trial comparing bone density in women given a daily calcium supplement versus a placebo would be classified as directly related to dietary supplements. Conversely, a study examining the activation of steroid hormone receptors by supplemental vitamin D in cell culture would be classified as indirectly related to dietary supplements because the direct physiological or health effects of vitamin D supplementation are not being studied.

Click on the desired option to include it in your search. If you do not make any selection, you will retrieve projects that are both directly and indirectly related to dietary supplements. Most of the projects in CARDS are coded as directly related.



Text Search

You may enter one or more terms to search within the project Title, Abstract, Specific Aims, Project Terms and Spending Categories. You may limit the fields to search in using the associated text boxes. "And" will return only records containing all terms while "Or" will return records containing any of the terms submitted.

The "Advanced" logic option provides additional capability to narrow selection criteria more precisely, and evaluate complex entries such as chemical references. The use of the Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT, "double quotes", and (parentheses) to control operational precedence are all permitted.
