HealthPartners Institute received a $685,327 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The award funds an optimization trial of MAP to Health, a digital behavior change intervention designed to increase physical activity among midlife adults. The project will conduct a 4-way factorial randomized controlled trial enrolling 368 participants across 16 experimental conditions to systematically evaluate four behavioral intervention strategies: meaning-based messaging, action planning with just-in-time notifications, activity choice options, and buddy support components. These strategies target four hypothesized mechanisms of sustained behavior change—meaning salience, competence, autonomy, and relatedness—drawn from Self-Determination Theory and prior research on psychological factors supporting long-term physical activity adherence. The intervention addresses a significant public health gap, as more than half of U.S. adults fail to meet the recommended 150 minutes of weekly physical activity. The research employs the Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) framework to refine and optimize the digital intervention prior to launching a larger-scale efficacy trial. HealthPartners Institute will perform this research at its Bloomington, Minnesota location, leveraging its integrated health system infrastructure and clinical data access to support participant recruitment and outcome measurement over the 3-month active intervention period and subsequent follow-up assessments.Federal Grant Award Summary
