The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded $817,407 to The Research Foundation For The State University of New York (RF SUNY) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) on June 1, 2026, with completion anticipated by February 28, 2031. The grant funds a family-based early obesity prevention study that tests the efficacy of an innovative online grocery shopping intervention. The primary service delivered is a randomized controlled trial recruiting 192 parents with obesity who shop online and have children aged 2–5 years, with participants assigned to either a default grocery cart intervention group or a control group over a 6-month intervention period. The intervention employs optimal defaults strategy, where online grocery shopping carts are pre-filled with nutritious foods corresponding to evidence-based meal recipes from the Traffic Light Diet, an established approach for family-based obesity prevention and treatment. Both study groups receive weekly meal and snack recipes with accompanying nutritional guidance designed to increase low energy-dense, nutrient-dense foods while decreasing overall diet energy density. This research expands upon preliminary pilot studies demonstrating the potential of pre-filled grocery cart strategies to improve the nutritional quality of household food purchases and addresses an identified gap in scaling behavioral modification approaches through online shopping platforms.Federal Grant Award Summary
