The Pennsylvania State University received a $753,158 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), effective July 15, 2026, through May 31, 2031. The award funds a 12-month prospective research study examining the relationship between a novel eating behavior phenotype called PACE (Portion size susceptibility, Appetitive traits, loss of Control eating, and Eating speed) and developmental changes in adiposity among rural Appalachian children ages 7–9. The study will enroll 210 healthy-weight children stratified by familial obesity risk status—70 high-risk (child and both parents with obesity), 70 medium-risk (healthy-weight child with parents having obesity), and 70 low-risk (child and parents both with healthy weight)—to confirm preliminary findings and extend research across greater socioeconomic diversity. The research aims to identify child-level (neural, cognitive, behavioral) and family/societal-level characteristics that influence susceptibility to overeating and obesity risk, with the ultimate goal of developing precision nutrition interventions targeting vulnerable populations during a critical developmental window. The underlying mechanisms under investigation include interoception and executive function abilities, with hypothesis that PACE phenotype trajectory predicts obesity development with variable effects based on socioeconomic status.Federal Grant Award Summary
