The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award, which runs from July 2025 to June 2027, include: Collecting a novel dataset on the...
- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will investigate the impact of cognitive-motor interference on balance control in children with cerebral palsy. The $291,848 award, effective from November 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will be used to evaluate proactive and reactive balance control in single and dual-task conditions...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $826,902.00, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc. in Maryland. The goal of this 5-year project, which began on May 1, 2025, is to leverage wearable technology to investigate the dynamic relationships between physical activity, sleep, and circadian rhythms, and how they relate to the heterogeneity in clinical...
- This $542,102 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to evaluate the efficacy of an activities-based locomotor training (AB-LT) program for improving outcomes in young non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. The study will employ a randomized crossover design to compare 3 weeks of AB-LT with 3 weeks of usual therapeutic care in 19 children aged...
- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $156,000 to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston to develop a bilingual mobile health (mHealth) application called "Iniciando! La Adultez" to support Latino young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their Spanish-speaking parents during the transition to adulthood....
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $328,524 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The funding will support a feasibility study evaluating a proactive physical therapy delivery model to increase and maintain physical activity and exercise behaviors in individuals with multiple sclerosis. The study involves a randomized controlled trial with 40...
- The University of Wisconsin-Madison was awarded a $155,500 Project Grant by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will support a 2-year research project to investigate the impact of parent-child relationship quality on pre-vocational skills and activities among autistic youth transitioning out of high school. The study will leverage two existing longitudinal datasets...
This $163,904 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, aims to prepare the principal investigator, Yu-Lun Chen, Ph.D., for an independent research career focused on promoting physical activity and health in individuals on the autism spectrum, with a particular emphasis on transition-age youth. The grant will address key knowledge gaps through three main research aims: 1) calibrating and validating wrist accelerometer output to measure physical activity behaviors in transition-age youth on the autism spectrum, accounting for their repetitive hand movements; 2) quantifying patterns of physical activity behaviors in this population in everyday life; and 3) identifying modifiable intervention targets for physical activity by assessing predictors such as functional impairment, contextual barriers, and motivation. This research is intended to support the development of high-quality physical activity interventions for transition-age youth on the autism spectrum, a population at significant risk for physical inactivity and associated negative health outcomes.
