Nutrition Obesity Research Center/Michigan Metabolomics and Obesity Center
 The goal of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC) is to support infrastructure to encourage and enable researchers from preclinical, clinical and translational and population-based disciplines to integrate the newest tools in molecular and cellular biology, neurobehavior and computational biology into their studies related to metabolic health. The NORC is the only new center funded by the NIH in the latest round of funding and grew out of the Michigan Metabolomics and Obesity Center. The latter was created in 2006 to provide Core support for obesity research and to accelerate the development of the metabolomics as 'omics' technology for the Medical School.
