This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health's Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $308,799 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to accelerate the discovery of exercise mimetic drugs. The key objectives are to: Identify biomolecular "signatures" of exercise training from the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) dataset through gene expression analysis. Integrate the MoTrPAC signatures with data from the Library...

This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), provides $345,799 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) to conduct an integrative analysis of genomics and proteomics data from the MOTRPAC study. The goal is to identify candidate molecular transducers of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), an important indicator of cardiovascular and metabolic health. The research will leverage...

This Project Grant award of $2,996,886 from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) will fund a 12-month family-centered behavioral intervention, called Athletes for Life (AFL), plus a 1-year active sustainability phase. The project aims to increase total habitual physical activity and cardiovascular fitness in an underserved Latino population living in the U.S.-Mexico border region. The study will be...

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $691,299 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial of Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) referrals to an augmented, EMR-integrated, remotely delivered physical activity intervention for Latina adolescents. The project, titled "PRIMARY CARE REFERRALS TO A REMOTELY DELIVERED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY...

This $702,964 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports the "Exercise is Medicine Greenville" (EIMG) initiative. The project aims to improve implementation and reach of this clinic-to-community program, which assesses patient physical activity levels, provides exercise prescriptions, and refers patients with chronic diseases to tailored community-based physical activity...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) totals $686,100.00 and aims to transform glycemic control during physical activity for individuals with type 1 diabetes. The project, titled "Limiting Dysglycemia Around Physical Activity for People with Type 1 Diabetes Using Activity-Aware Automated Insulin Delivery - The APEX...

This federal Project Grant award of $755,000 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) aims to evaluate the efficacy of a light load, high repetition (LLHR) strength training program in improving muscle mass, strength, power, and physical function in older adults. The study will conduct a single-blind randomized controlled trial comparing the LLHR program (20-24 repetitions near muscular failure) to a conventional high load, lower repetition program (8-12 repetitions)...
