RESEARCH INTERESTS Physical Activity in Children and Adults, Health Policy and Program Implementation, Relationships between Physical and Cognitive and Health, School Health GRANT SUPPORT Current 7/1/15 - Increasing Classroom Teachers Implementation and Sustained 6/30/19 Use of Classroom-Based Physical Activity Breaks as a Strategy to Improve Academic Outcomes. (US Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, Lindsey Turner, PI, R305A150277, $1,496,373) This project will examine barriers to the implementation of classroom-based physical activity breaks, and develop strategies to boost implementation and sustained use of PA breaks. Outcome measures include implementation, student time on task, and academic outcomes. 2/1/2017- Co-Investigator through subcontract from Emory University, A Rigorous 1/31/2021 Evaluation of the Relationship between Physical Activity and Education Outcomes. (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation #74281, Julie Gazmararian, PI, $2,462,700) This project will utilize a cluster-randomized control design with 40 schools (20 intervention and 20 control) to test the effect of the Health mpowers You intervention to increase school-based physical activity opportunities, and to examine the mechanisms through which such an intervention can impact student-level physical activity and fitness outcomes, and education outcomes such as school climate, student engagement, and standardized achievement test scores.
