The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded Brown University $787,085 under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) on July 18, 2026, to conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial of a physical activity intervention for mothers named Moms on the Move, delivered in partnership with youth sports organizations. The intervention targets Hispanic, Black, and low-income mothers, who report barriers to physical activity including caregiving responsibilities, access constraints, transportation limitations, and childcare needs. The study will test intervention efficacy for increasing moderate to vigorous physical activity and examine physical activity maintenance among participants. Brown will partner with eight youth football and cheerleading organizations serving predominantly low-income Hispanic and Black families, leveraging settings where mothers regularly spend time for their children's extracurricular activities to circumvent access and transportation barriers. Work is performed in Providence, Rhode Island. The period of performance extends from July 18, 2026, through January 31, 2031. The award is structured as a project grant, the standard assistance type for NIH research awards.
