The beef checkoff’s Research, Education and Innovation (REI) program manages safety, human nutrition and product enhancement research that provides technology and knowledge to all sectors of the beef supply chain to increase understanding of beef products offered to today's consumer.


In the end, all development, education and communications programs are founded on research. Marketing and communication programs must have a story worth telling. In today’s social climate, to answer challenges from the health community and the consumer’s need for convenience, marketing and communications messages must be data-driven, based on irrefutable research.
