The National Cancer Institute awarded $115,420 to the University of Virginia under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) on May 1, 2026, through a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award supporting Dr. Kelsey Day's career development as an independent investigator in community-based physical activity research and cancer prevention. During the K99 phase, Dr. Day will receive training in four key competency areas: text message and mobile health (mHealth) intervention approaches, objective device-measured physical activity data analysis, community-based participatory research methodology, and advanced qualitative research methods. Concurrently, she will initiate research activities focused on developing a multilevel, faith-based physical activity intervention tailored to rural populations. The award supports two concurrent research development tracks through April 30, 2028. The first track (Aim 1) involves participatory design processes with focus groups of rural church members to adapt a text message intervention with spiritual content and personalized physical activity feedback. The second track (Aim 2) encompasses workshops with rural church leaders paired with local parks and recreation department representatives to establish partnerships, adapt evidence-based intervention strategies, and identify implementation barriers and facilitators. These activities prepare the foundation for the R00 phase (Aim 3), during which Dr. Day will deliver the integrated multilevel intervention to pilot rural churches to evaluate feasibility and preliminary outcomes, positioning her for transition to independent research leadership.Federal Grant Award Summary
