Marilyn Swanson serves as the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) National Program Leader for Maternal and Child Health stationed at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Agriculture Research Services (ARS) Children's Nutrition Research Center (CNRC) and as Adjunct Associate Professor of Pediatrics-Nutrition for Baylor College of Medicine.

Dr. Swanson also identifies areas of educational needs of maternal, infant, and child health components within the Extension network and helps identify educational research needs that may form the basis for new cooperative research.

Dr. Swanson’s research has focused primarily in the area of nutrition education research, behavioral determinants of eating patterns, and best practices for feeding young children in group settings. She has been active in a number of educational and training projects in the area of food safety, food sustainability and nutrition in developing countries.
