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.
