The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded the University of Alabama at Birmingham a $640,699 Project Grant (R01) effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant funds a Phase II randomized controlled trial evaluating a telehealth-delivered extended reality (XR) exergaming intervention designed to improve physical activity and health outcomes in children with cerebral palsy. The research will enroll 130 physically inactive children and deliver an adaptive, immersive fitness gaming program combined with behavioral tele-coaching and caregiver involvement to help participants meet the recommended 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. The intervention leverages commercially available gaming technology adapted for children with mobility impairments, integrated with multi-level behavioral strategies targeting both child and caregiver to enhance treatment adherence and exercise compliance. As a comprehensive academic medical center with substantial biomedical research capacity, UAB will conduct this clinical investigation at its Birmingham, Alabama location. The trial represents an innovative approach to addressing cardiovascular disease prevention and physical deconditioning in an underserved pediatric population with disabilities, utilizing scalable telehealth delivery mechanisms to overcome traditional barriers to accessible exercise programming.Federal Grant Award Summary
