Twelve proposals, affecting 32 land grant universities and other institutions were submitted. To qualify, a dairy center had to have a history of dairy research, and be located in an area where the dairy industry is strong. In addition, two independent review panels com posed of nationally recognized academic, industry and govern ment representatives and administ drators closely evaluated propos als with respect to technological and administrative criteria. The Dairy Food Research Cen ter program is just one part of the Dairy Board’s extensive research effort, which has been ongoing since .the Board’s inception in 1983. Through its competitive research grant program, the Board awards grants to individual scien tists and other research groups. The Board’s product research efforts are divided equally between the competitive research grant' program and the dairy research centers. Some of the major research efforts for dairy products under way include the development of cholesterol-free, low-fat dairy pro ducts; a lite-butter product which has 60 percent of the fat of regular butter and is easily spread; and indications that the nutrients found in dairy products may help control high blood pressure. Medical research continues to support the dairy industry’s message that dairy calcium is die best deterrent to osteoporosis, with doctors advis ing that dairy products, not pills, should be consumers’ primary source of calcium.
