The Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN) is the only federally funded national center focused on applied research, education and training, and technical assistance for child nutrition programs, operating within the University of Mississippi's School of Applied Sciences. It supports school nutrition programs by producing and disseminating information and services aimed at continuous program improvement, addressing practical needs of administrators and staff. It is anchored in federal law (established by Congress in 1989) and funded via a USDA grant administered by the Food and Nutrition Service.

Based in Mississippi, United States, ICN operates within a university framework and is positioned in the e-learning and education space, delivering training and guidance for child nutrition programs. It engages in collaborations with external organizations to broaden its reach, such as a 2026 partnership with Communities In Schools to distribute end-of-year snack boxes to Grant County families. The institute's structure and mission reflect a mid-sized team focused on providing information and services to promote continuous improvement of national child nutrition programs.
