This Project Grant award, ID R01MD019155, was provided by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307). The $1,250,604 award seeks to reduce the burden of physical inactivity in Mexico through an urban equity approach, by increasing the uptake of place-activation evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in marginalized urban peripheries.

The study will be conducted by the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) in partnership with the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and Washington University in St. Louis. The project will test multisectoral engagement methods to advance active dissemination and implementation of place-based physical activity EBIs in underserved Mexican neighborhoods. Key activities include adapting EBIs for the local context, conducting a hybrid group-randomized controlled trial, and exploring long-term maintenance and scalability through community-engaged approaches. This innovative and impactful study aims to build capacity for dissemination and implementation science and physical activity research in Mexico.
