This Project Grant, awarded February 25, 2026, by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361), provides $169,189 in federal funding to Michigan State University through January 31, 2029. The award supports Dr. Patricia West's Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K Award) to advance cardiovascular health outcomes among adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID) through the co-development and pilot-testing of a virtual reality (VR)-based physical activity intervention. The research employs a participatory approach that engages adolescents with ID and their stakeholders as co-researchers in designing and adapting evidence-based interventions tailored to their specific health literacy and activity needs. The project delivers three primary research products: (1) adapted and validated research instruments incorporating accessible language for health outcome assessment, developed in collaboration with target population members; (2) evaluation and selection of VR exergame programs identified as effective for improving health outcomes through physical activity; and (3) a 16-week pilot VR physical activity intervention incorporating peer support mechanisms, with feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy assessments using co-adapted measures and cardiovascular risk biomarkers. Conducted within Michigan State University's strong institutional research environment, the work aims to dismantle barriers to health for this underserved population while establishing Dr. West's independent research program in nursing science addressing health disparities and population health promotion.Federal Grant Award Summary
