The National Institute of Nursing Research awarded the University of Maryland, Baltimore $744,172 on July 20, 2026, under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) to implement the Worksite Heart Health Improvement Project plus Function Focused Care (WHHIP+FFC) intervention, which combines physical activity promotion for assisted living facility staff with function-focused care training that embeds activity engagement into routine resident care interactions. The intervention addresses sedentary behavior among both facility workers and residents through a four-step implementation model: stakeholder team development and identification of a facility champion; environment and policy assessments to increase physical activity; individual education and goal setting for staff; and ongoing mentoring and motivation of staff to engage residents in physical activity. Prior WHHIP iterations demonstrated feasibility and significant improvements in staff health behaviors and outcomes, with incidental resident participation in staff-led physical activity sessions. The merged WHHIP+FFC approach targets the identified barrier of workers' insufficient belief in physical activity benefits for themselves and residents by positioning activity engagement as integral to care philosophy and daily care work. The study employs an incomplete stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial across eight assisted living facilities with 224 staff participants and 120 resident participants, across six data collection timepoints. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland, with a period of performance extending from July 20, 2026, through April 30, 2031. The assistance type is a project grant.
