The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $249,521 Project Grant through its Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. The grant, titled "Building Healthy Eating and Self-Esteem Together for University Students (BEST-U): A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of an mHealth Intervention for Binge-Spectrum Disorders," aims to conduct an effectiveness test of a mobile health (mHealth) cognitive-behavioral therapy guided self-help (CBT-GSH) intervention for university students with non-low weight binge-spectrum eating disorders. The project will compare the BEST-U intervention to a similar dose of present-centered therapy, as well as explore potential mechanisms leading to changes in binge eating and other eating disorder symptoms. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
