The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded the University of South Florida $763,585 on July 28, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating ADAPT+, a multi-family lifestyle intervention designed to promote healthy eating and physical activity behaviors in youth aged 8–12 years with obesity and their parents living in rural agricultural communities. The award funds a fully powered multi-site efficacy trial (ORBIT Phase 3) testing whether incorporating mindfulness strategies into ADAPT+ helps manage parental stress and increases receptivity to behavior change interventions. The trial targets 224 parent–child dyads across two geographic regions, partnering with a statewide community organization serving over 6,500 low-income rural youth and families in agricultural communities. Primary outcomes measure reductions in parental stress and increases in parental mindfulness, alongside improvements in youth dietary behaviors (increased fruit and vegetable consumption, reduced sugary beverage intake) and physical activity, as well as anthropometric indicators. The intervention builds on a prior R34 feasibility and acceptability study that demonstrated strong preliminary results. Performance takes place in Tampa, Florida, with a period of performance through December 31, 2030. The award is classified as a Project Grant and carries an assistance type designation of Project Grant.
