This $161,175 five-year Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research to investigate the environmental determinants of physical activity in pediatric heart transplant patients. The principal investigator, Dr. Jonathan Edelson, aims to 1) determine the association of neighborhood-level built and natural environment factors with physical activity patterns, 2) identify micro-environmental determinants of physical activity participation through qualitative methods, and 3) pilot a digital exercise intervention using a multiphase optimization strategy. This research is intended to inform the development of effective, equitable, and sustainable interventions to increase physical activity and improve long-term cardiovascular health outcomes in children after heart transplantation. The award will support Dr. Edelson's career development towards becoming an independent investigator in this domain.
